SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 15 – Bernardino Flores,
an immigrant from El Salvador,
has been held for a year in
the Orange County Correctional
Facility in Goshen, New York;
he has a forcible touching
conviction and must prove he
is not a danger. But prove
how?
On March
15, 2023 U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Paul G.
Gardephe convened a proceeding
on Flores' habeus corpus
petition. Inner City Press
covered it.
Judge
Gardephe's ruling posited, how
much due process is due? More
than has been accorded.
He ordered the
government to "provide
Petitioner with a
constitutional compliance bond
hearing within 21 days" -
initially he'd said 14, but
then the government's lawyer
explained the need for more
time - and to "submit a letter
confirmed that the bond
hearing was conducted and
stating the outcome of the
proceeding" by April 6.
The case is
Flores v. Decker, et al.,
22-cv-9106 (Gardephe)
