"Matthew Marrero witnessed the emotional detainment inside of 26 Federal Plaza on Nov. 24. The pair had been attending what they thought would be a joyous Green Card appointment that would cement their life together; instead, it turned into a nightmare when the Marreros were separated by ICE, and Allan was transferred from facility to facility. After months of fighting for his husband's freedom, Matthew Marrero flew to the Magnolia State on Jan. 27 for Allan's bond hearing."
"God, we are calling on your power right now for this judge to do the right thing, for this judge to grant justice in this case. For this judge to grant Allan bond, Rev. Amanda Hambrick Ashcraft said as they bowed their heads in a solemn plea to a higher power. Congregants of the East Village's Middle Collegiate Church prayed."
Congregants of Middle Collegiate Church in the East Village gathered in a conference room, wearing winter coats and hats, to watch Allan Dabrio Marrero’s bail hearing on television. Allan had been in ICE detention since November after a Green Card appointment at 26 Federal Plaza resulted in his separation from his husband, Matthew Marrero. Matthew traveled to Mississippi on Jan. 27 for Allan’s bond hearing after months of fighting for his freedom. Church members prayed together, led by Rev. Amanda Hambrick Ashcraft, calling on the judge to grant bond. The congregation prepared to join the hearing virtually but learned they could not witness the judge’s decision.
