The detention by immigration authorities of a Chicago man whose 16-year-old daughter is undergoing treatment for advanced cancer is illegal, and he must be given a bond hearing by Oct. 31, a federal judge has ruled.
Attorneys for Ruben Torres Maldonado, 40, who was detained Oct. 18, have petitioned for his release as his deportation case goes through the system. While U.S. District Judge Jeremy Daniel said in an order Friday that Torres’ detention is illegal and violates his due process rights, he also said he could not order his immediate release.
“While sympathetic to the plight the petitioner’s daughter faces due to her health concerns, the court must act within the constraints of the relevant statutes, rules, and precedents,” the judge wrote Friday.
Torres’ attorney took the ruling as a win — for now.
Nearly 100% of this bullshit run by the rogue regime is illegal. They don’t fucking care and no ones going to do any thing about it for us. There needs to be a general strike at the minimum ASAP.
I had no hope of a general strike, but if Democrats continue to hold out on the budget then it might happen as families run out of food, government employees get evicted, and more and more MAGA become disillusioned.
So now I have a little hope, but still very little. It seems to me that the fascists want a general strike so they feel more justified in a military crackdown. Things are still going to get worse before they get better.
It feels more and more like an enivitability, but these fascists are bigger cowards than they appear. With free and fair elections on the chopping block, what other options do we have than to flex the biggest muscle of our democratic rights?
