Nikolic Is Released From Orange County Jail By SDNY Judge Schofield With Ankle Monitor

BBC - Decrypt - LightRead - Honduras - Source

SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 3 – On November 28, 2018 Dejan Nikolic was placed in the Orange County Jail in connecition with a removal proceeding at the Varick Street Immigration Court. He has Hepatitis-C.

  On April 3 his habeus corpus petition was heard by U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Lorna G. Schofield. 

   Nikolic's lawyer told Judge Schofield that the jail had not been treating him for his Hepatitis-C. Judge Schofield called that a serious problem, beyond #COVID19. She suggested that if she released him, he should call Urgent Care, given that hospitals are overburdened by Coronavirus. 

    Nikolic's lawyer said that in Orange County Jail, there's at least one presumptive positive test for Coronavirus among inmates.

   Assistant US Attorney Brandon Waterman in a letter filed just before the hearing that Inner City Press was the only media to cover had written that "There is one ICE detainee and two county inmates who are symptomatic... One Orange County C.O. has tested positive for COVID-19. This officer is in isolation / quarantine at home." 

   Judge Schofield ordered Nikovic released, later on April 3, with an ankle monitor. She ordered him to comply with New York Executive Order 202.6 and remain in his home with lawful allowances for activities such as obtaining food and other necessities, obtaining medical and mental health treatment, and working. The case is Nikolic v. Decker, et al., 20-cv-2500 (Schofield).
