Bonilla Wants Out Of ICE Jail in NJ As US Attorney Opaquely Opposed SDNY Venue and Wins

BBC - Decrypt - LightRead - Honduras - Source

SDNY COURTHOUSE, March 30 -- Durel Jordon Bonilla is in the Hudson County Correctional Facility in New Jersey, in connection with an immigration removal proceeding at the Varick Street Immigration Court in lower Manhattan. He is 23 and from Belize; he has been in the US for 17 years.

   A petition for a writ of habeus corpus, seeking Bonilla's release due to the Coronavirus crisis, was filed before U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Vernon S. Broderick, who held a telephone conference on March 27. Inner City Press covered it, and on March 28 and 29 sought to view the US Attorney's Office's filings against the case on PACER but was told, You do not have permission to view this document. Photo here. Who does? Or did?

    The March 27 conference was largely about scheduling. But Assistant US Attorney Michael Byers, who had yet to file a notice of appearance, questioned venue, given that the facility is in New Jersey.

    Bonilla's lawyers from Brooklyn Defenders, Hannah McCrea and Alexandra Lampert, pointed out that SDNY Judge Analisa Torres had only the day before on March 26 ordered the release of ten petitioners, in New Jersey. And that Judge Alison Nathan had cone the same earlier in the day.

   AUSA Byers said that these two judges' view on venue were already known, but that Judge Broderick's were not yet. Well, even without seeing the US Attorney's filings, they now are: "CASE TRANSFERRED OUT ELECTRONICALLY from the U.S.D.C. Southern District of New York to the United States District Court - District of District of New Jersey. (rro)."  The case is, or was, Bonilla v. Decker, et al., 20-cv-2483 (Broderick).
