The hearing was initially scheduled after ICE failed to comply with an order regarding Juan Hugo Tobay Robles. The agency was required by a Jan. 14 court order to hold a bond hearing for Tobay Robles or release him from detention within seven days. Schiltz said that the agency neither held the hearing nor released Tobay Robles, sparking the threat of contempt.
However, Graham Ojala-Barbour, an attorney for Tobay Robles, told Fox News Digital on Wednesday that his client has since been released from detention in Texas.
