Juan Francisco Méndez, a 29-year-old from Guatemala, was released from ICE detention after 30 days due to the improper filing of his arrest documentation. His detainment drew attention when federal agents forcibly removed him from his car, mistakenly targeting him while searching for another individual. Although released, he remains under the monitoring of an electronic ankle device while his attorney fights for its removal. Court officials highlighted the need for proper documentation in such cases, reflecting ongoing issues within immigration enforcement procedures.
"Counsel are reminded to accompany any future filings with as much supporting documentation as possible, due to the unfortunate administrative agency mishap that apparently occurred in this case."
"I'm super thankful to everyone who helped Juan get out of detention. The fight goes on because now I have to argue in court for an order for ICE to remove the ankle monitor."
