Mexican man with withholding of removal detained after 8 years on supervision
Apr 22, 2026 · Los Angeles, CA, Mexico
Jaime Nino Astudillo is a Mexican citizen who has resided in the United States since at least 2018. In 2018, an Immigration Judge granted him withholding of removal to Mexico based on his well-founded fear of persecution as a gay man, and he was released on an Order of Supervision. On April 22, 2026, Petitioner appeared at the ICE Los Angeles Field Office for his routine annual check-in, as he had done every year since 2018, but was detained by ICE officers and transported to Adelanto ICE Processing Center, where he remained detained. Petitioner filed a habeas corpus petition challenging his detention, alleging violations of regulatory procedures requiring notice of revocation and an informal interview, as well as Fifth Amendment due process violations. On May 1, 2026, the court granted the petition without opposition from respondents, ordering Petitioner's immediate release from ICE custody and requiring respondents to file a status report by May 8, 2026.
