Woman Seeking Asylum After Husband Killed in Colombia Agrees to Detention, ICE Detainer

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Maxwell Book
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN

SDNY MAG COURT EXCLUSIVE, Nov 28 -  In the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on November 28, a detention or bond proceeding was held by Magistrate Judge Stewart D. Aaron on woman illegally in the US from Colombia, where her husband was killed by a gang called Los Esperantos, the SDNY prosecutor said.

  Inner City Press was there, the only media in the Mag Court.

 The defendant Ms. Valencia, according to the Assistant US Attorney, had been apprehended by ICE in Arizona for illegal entry.

The Federal Defender said she had applied for asylum, as her husband was killed by a gang; she has a sister living in Allentown, Pennsylvania and working at FedEx who can vouch for her.

 But when Judge Aaron took a break in the Magistrates Court robing room, the prosecutors says he learned that if ordered free on bond, ICE would detain Ms. Valencia.

  Accordingly, the Federal Defender withdrew the application for release on bond; now detention on consent.

The case is US v. Valencia, 22-mj-9489 (Aaron)
