Like most of the more than 230 Venezuelan men deported to a Salvadoran prison, José Manuel Ramos Bastidas had followed U.S. immigration rules. Then Trump rewrote them.
Calling from a Texas detention center, José Manuel Ramos Bastidas told his wife to hit record: “They detained me simply because of my tattoos. I am not a criminal.” “Just in case something happens to me, so you can be aware.” A month later, he was gone. https://t.co/s3Zy2E6puH

I'll end this thread by noting that this husband and wife were prevented from yet another outrage being carried out against them by the hard work and lawyering of @SirineShebaya and @NIPNLG. They got their day in court. And they won spectacularly, setting important precedent.

"We are grateful that Judge Briones saw through ICE's baseless accusations & granted Cesar & Norelia’s habeas petition so that they can return home to DC and be with their family," said @SirineShebaya from @NIPNLG. "We hope this will mark an end to their traumatizing ordeal." 11/

Yesterday, Judge Briones, like Judges Harvey, Brinkema, and Berton before him, ordered Cesar & Norelia released. The absurdity of the situation was not lost on him as he ended the hearing and order by noting “Let's see what court you're going to go to next.” 10/

Last week, the couple traveled to El Paso for a court hearing. At the hearing, Judge Berton ruled that they remain free until their next hearing. Yet, as they were boarding their flight home to reunite with their children, ICE detained them yet again. 9/ https://t.co/Xg5ROPBrjg

On Mar 13th, the couple was ordered released by Judge Harvey, but were instead briefly detained by ICE before being released. Less than 10 days later, ICE once again unlawfully detained them and separated them from their children. 6/ https://t.co/m1zrqpVde3

This is despite the fact that both Cesar and Norelia have TPS and pending asylum applications, which means the government should not be able to detain them on the basis of their immigration status. 5/

Judge Briones is the fourth federal judge across three states to order the couple released since they were first detained on March 10th in DC on illegal entry charges from when they crossed the border in 2022. 4/

The couple, who live in Washington, D.C., have temporary deportation protections and pending asylum claims. Advocates say the case could set legal precedent.
