Venezuelan Man Re-detained by ICE After Release on Own Recognizance

Mar 22, 2026 · Venezuela

Beyker Jose Valecillos-Gonzalez, a Venezuelan citizen, entered the U.S. on June 21, 2022, was initially detained by immigration authorities, then released on his own recognizance on June 24, 2022. He was re-detained by ICE on March 22, 2026, without notice of the reason for his re-detention or opportunity to contest it. The court granted his habeas corpus petition and ordered his immediate release, finding that his re-detention without notice and hearing violated due process.
