West African migrants nabbed in Canal Street raid freed as judge slams ICE for ‘blatantly unlawful’ arrests
NY Post
At least three West African migrants detained in ICE’s bid to crack down on knockoff vendors on Canal Street last fall have been ordered freed — with one judge calling the busts “blatantly unlawful.”
Manhattan and New Jersey judges ordered the feds to release Mamadou Ndoye, Sergigne Diop and Abdou Tall after determining that the ICE agents made illegal arrests in Chinatown, court records show.
New Jersey District Judge Karen Williams slammed ICE’s Oct. 21 apprehension of Diop — a 19-year-old who has a type of immigration status meant to provide a path to citizenship for neglected children and teens — as “blatantly unlawful from the start” in a Dec. 29 ruling.
Ndoye, 45, a Mali native who has lived in the US for decades, was ordered released on Feb. 5 by Manhattan District Judge Vernon Broderick, court records show. The feds had a final order of removal for Ndoye, but failed to explain in court how they identified him or why he was arrested, the judge said.
“The mere fact that an individual may have a final order of removal does not mean that heor she can be detained without any due process,” Broderick wrote.
A week later, however, Ndoye was detained again by ICE after what he was told would be a routine check-in to adjust his GPS monitor, Gothamist reported. He’s now being held at an immigration detention facility in New Jersey.
