ICE blocked his own deportation, then punished him for it
Immigration judge orders a man to leave by June 11. He buys a plane ticket for June 10, asks ICE to release him so he can board. ICE refuses. He misses the flight.
Then ICE re-detains him for missing the deadline and issues a deportation order. A judge later ruled it a due process violation.
This is what deliberate sabotage looks like dressed up in bureaucratic form.
Here's a new one: ICE *prevented* a man from self-deporting by a June 11 deadline — he asked ICE to let him leave and had a one-way plane ticket for June 10. Then ICE re-detained him because he missed the deadline. Due process violation, judge rules. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.njd.601006/gov.uscourts.njd.601006.12.0.pdf
