Judge orders a path to release for immigrant with leukemia facing deportation
U.S. District Judge Brandy McMillion ruled that detaining immigrants without bond hearings violates due process, impacting Jose Contreras-Cervantes and others in Michigan.
- On Friday, U.S. District Judge Brandy McMillion ordered Jose Contreras-Cervantes released or given a bond hearing within seven days, with a written update due Oct. 27.
- Contreras-Cervantes, 33, was diagnosed last year with chronic myeloid leukemia and was arrested during an Aug. 5 traffic stop in suburban Detroit after living in the U.S. about 20 years.
- The American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan sued for Contreras-Cervantes and seven others, and Miriam Aukerman, ACLU attorney, said he receives substitute medication at North Lake Processing Center, Baldwin, Michigan.
- If released on bond from Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, detainees could return to families while their cases proceed in immigration court, and U.S. District Judge Brandy McMillion ruled that detaining petitioners without risk evaluation violates due process.
- Against this backdrop, the administration's policy has been challenged as the U.S. Justice Department defended the Trump administration policy on bond hearings and said the case belonged at an immigration appeals board.
