When the officers asked him to identify himself, they initially said that his student visa had been revoked. I believe at that point, he and his wife had called his attorney. And his wife and his attorney were both saying, he's not here on a student visa. He has a green card. His wife, who is eight months pregnant, got the green card and showed it to the HSI officers.

That's the division of ICE that handles Homeland Security. And the officer said, well, the green card has been revoked too. Which, to be clear, ICE doesn't have the authority to to revoke a green card, but they arrested him. They took him first, I believe, to a detention center in New York, then transferred him to a different detention center in New Jersey.

When his wife went to visit him there on Sunday, she was told that he wasn't there. And for a while, his wife and his attorney didn't know where he was until it was revealed that he had been transferred to a different ICE detention facility in rural Louisiana. And so while he was still detained in New York City, 4.40 a.m.

on Sunday, his attorney filed a habeas petition with the Southern District of New York. So this was before any of the transfers happened. And a federal judge on Monday ordered that he not be deported for now and set a court hearing for today. Who is this guy?
