"A Massachusetts resident and Brazilian national was released from federal custody just days before his wedding celebration after a judge ruled that U.S. immigration officials detained him illegally. Carlos Roberto De Andrade, 36, was released from a facility in Plymouth late Tuesday night, according to his attorney, who said the legal saga forced De Andrade and his wife to postpone a wedding celebration planned for later this week."
"De Andrade had been in custody since Aug. 22, when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested him as he reported for a routine check-in at the agency's Burlington outpost. Immigration attorney Shaan Chatterjee said De Andrade had been "diligent" about check-ins, and the ICE agent who arrested him offered no reason other than "a change in policy." "I mean, Carlos has zero criminal history, and [the Department of Homeland Security] has repeated that in all of their filings,""
Carlos Roberto De Andrade, a Brazilian national living in Massachusetts, was detained by ICE on Aug. 22 when he reported for a routine check-in in Burlington. He entered the U.S. in 2021 on conditional parole after claiming asylum following threats in Brazil. De Andrade had no criminal history and had complied with check-ins, and his attorney said the arrest occurred without explanation aside from an alleged policy change. A federal judge ruled his detention unlawful and that his parole terms entitled him to a bond hearing, leading to his release days before a planned wedding celebration. ICE did not immediately comment.
