The Trump Administration's campaign of mass detention and deportation has swept up thousands of people, subjecting them to inhumane and dangerous conditions of immigration detention. In this case, TIP joined a growing movement of lawyers responding to this constitutional crisis by filing a habeas petition to challenge the Administration's unlawful detention of our client in violation of his right to procedural due process as guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
Mr. Alvarado Carrero is just one of thousands of people who have been re-detained by ICE despite his compliance with every condition and rule ICE imposed on him. Despite following the rules and becoming a valued member of his community, Mr. Alvarado Carrero was transferred in chains through various ICE detention centers across the country, including the infamous "Alligator Alcatraz," where he was chained to a bed for 17-hours straight. Mr. Alvarado Carrero is now detained in central California, thousands of miles away from his family and friends in Florida.
Attorneys with TIP entered filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus on behalf of Mr. Alvarado Carrero, asserting that his current detention is unconstitutional as a matter of procedural and substantive due process, among other things. We’re seeking Mr. Alvarado Carrero’s immediate release and a court order requiring the government to follow specific procedural safeguards should it attempt detain Mr. Alvarado Carrero in the future. Hours after filing the habeas, U.S. Magistrate Judge Sean Riordan ordered the government to respond within seven days explaining why the Court should not grant the habeas petition. TIP is fighting to return Mr. Alvarado Carrero to his family in Florida as soon as possible.
