Speaker cites district court finding that blocked self‑deportation violated habeas corpus
Summary
The committee member cited a July 21 U.S. District Court opinion in Marlon Andres Torres Gomez v. Luis Soto, Warden, Delaney Hall, saying the court struck down ICE/Delaney Hall actions that prevented a detainee with a valid self‑deportation agreement from leaving.
A committee member cited a district court opinion handed down July 21 in Marlon Andres Torres Gomez v. Luis Soto, Warden, Delaney Hall, describing a detainee who had an agreement and plane ticket to self‑deport but was blocked at the airport and returned to ICE custody. "This district court opinion strikes that down and says it's an absolute violation of habeas corpus in the agreement that ICE made," the member said.
The committee member used the ruling as evidence that administrative practice at Delaney Hall and ICE can override judicial orders, arguing the court opinion raises concerns about detention practices and the need for oversight. No ICE or DHS witness appeared to respond to the citation during the remarks.
