At least 11 people, including asylum seeker Jesus Carrión, were detained during check-ins at ICE's Malta field office, according to court records and immigrant rights advocates. An emergency habeas petition was filed the same day to prevent their transfer outside the Northern District of New York, and they were initially held at Montgomery County jail before a court ruling allowed transfer to the Batavia detention center with restrictions on further movement. Carrión's wife, Jean Aurilio, said he was taken into custody while waiting for what was expected to be a routine check-in. A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said the detained individuals lacked legal status and would receive due process, as nationwide ICE arrests rose to an average of 1,474 per day by late July, according to federal data.
