Jesus Carrion, a 63-year-old asylum seeker, was detained by ICE on July 26 during a routine check-in at the Malta facility after receiving a text instructing him to bring his paperwork and family members. His wife, Jean Aurilio, an American citizen and teacher, accompanied him expecting a standard interview but was told Carrion would be taken into custody and transferred to the detention center in Batavia, with a possible court appearance in two weeks. Aurilio said they had been following all requirements and rules, and she remains waiting for information about his status and when she will hear from him.
