A federal judge has ordered the release of an Ecuadorean immigrant who was held for deportation after he delivered pizza to a Brooklyn Army installation.
Judge Paul Crotty issued an order late Tuesday saying Pablo Villavicencio (vee-uh-vih-SEHN’-see-oh) must be immediately released. The man is being held at a New Jersey lockup.
The judge says the release is necessary because his imminent removal from the United States is no longer reasonably foreseeable.
The judge says Villavicencio can remain in the United States while he exhausts his right to complete an effort to gain legal status. Villavicencio applied to stay in the U.S. after he married a U.S. citizen. They have two young girls.
Crotty ruled after hearing arguments earlier Tuesday.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Cordaro argued for the case to be transferred to New Jersey.
Don’t tell me, they ordered it with pepperoni that never showed. That’s always an easy tell.
Now, the military is being used for civilian policing? Way to go Trump!
What difference is it if the case is transferred to NJ, and I am assuming that the judge in that issued the release was in NY.
Cue the outrage against the “Deep Judiciary”…
Last I checked, that is a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act. And we know that Trump’s Army would never violate the law, don’t we?
