Yogesh K.: Indian man arrested by ICE at his Sacramento immigration court hearing

An Indian man who had complied with release conditions and held a job was re-arrested right after a judge ordered his removal. A court later ordered him freed, finding the re-arrest unconstitutional.

Jul 21, 2026Sacramento, CACountry of origin: India

An Indian national who entered the U.S. in September 2022 was arrested by ICE on July 21, 2026, immediately after an Immigration Judge ordered his removal at a scheduled hearing in Sacramento Immigration Court. He had been released on recognizance and enrolled in an Alternatives to Detention program, where he maintained lawful employment and complied with all requirements. On July 22, 2026, he timely appealed his removal order to the Board of Immigration Appeals, making it not administratively final. The court granted his habeas corpus petition, finding his re-detention without a pre-deprivation hearing violated the Fifth Amendment Due Process Clause, and ordered his immediate release.
