Noncitizen Detained at ICE Denver Facility Despite Immigration Judge Bond Order

May 1, 2026 · Denver, CO

Reyna Isabel Funez Veliz, a noncitizen, is detained at ICE's Denver Contract Detention Facility despite an immigration judge ordering his release on an $8,000 bond. ICE invoked an automatic stay regulation to prevent his release while appealing the bond determination. The immigration judge later reconsidered and held that the petitioner's detention is mandatory under federal law.
