COURTHOUSE,
June 27 –
A man from Iran had a UN
immigration trial scheduled
for January 2026 in 290
Broadway in Lower Manhattan.
But on
June 23 on his way to work he
was detained by ICE. He was
held at 26 Federal Plaza when
his lawyer filed a habeas
corpus petition in U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York,
which Inner City Press closely
covers.
The petition says
petitioner Meysan Khabazha was
tortured by the Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps for
his political opinions; he his
also a Christian. He has been
living in The Bronx and
working nights.
Judge Jesse M. Furman set a
proceeding for June 30 - then
canceled it when the parties
filed a briefing schedule. The
Federal Respondents will file
on July 11, with reply due on
July 16 (and a possible
amendment on July
2). The case is
Khazazha v. United States
Immigration and Customs
Enforcement, et al.,
1:25-cv-5279 (Furman)
