Two federal court records dated November 6 describe ICE arrests earlier this year in Riverside and Ontario. A judge ordered immediate release in one case. In the other, a magistrate judge recommended release and sent the matter to a district judge.
Riverside and Adelanto
ICE had his photo and was on the sidewalk by 6:20 a.m. Apparently, the hearing could wait until after they locked him up. A federal judge found that ICE violated his right to due process and ordered his immediate release. The order mentions the photo. The Pomonan couldn’t get the court exhibit to see whether it actually contains it.
The arrest took place May 7. ICE later held him in Adelanto. U.S. Magistrate Judge Karen E. Scott issued the release order on November 6. The Pomonan could not verify when or whether ICE carried it out. Central District of California order
Ontario
ICE records summarized in court say officers arrested one person near an airport check-in counter early on July 14 and took the person to ICE’s San Bernardino office for processing. On November 6, U.S. Magistrate Judge Allison Claire recommended immediate release. The Pomonan could not verify whether the district judge adopted the recommendation or whether the person was released. Eastern District of California findings and recommendations
