ICE Re-detains Man During Routine Check-in After Previous Release

Apr 29, 2026

Alexander Valdes Cruz, who entered the United States without inspection in December 2023, was initially released on his own recognizance in January 2024. On April 29, 2026, ICE re-detained him when he appeared for a routine ICE check-in. The court granted his habeas corpus petition and ordered his immediate release under the same conditions as before his re-detention.
