O (the declarant from the court transcript)

She told me a judge had ordered my release.

I also received two letters and a list with phone numbers in the mail from one of my teachers.

She also sent snacks, clothes, and a notebook, but I wasn't allowed to have any of this, only the papers and letters.

ICE did not tell me that my attorney had been trying to call me and contact me while I was in Texas.

They didn't tell me my attorney had retained another attorney to file a habeas petition on my behalf or that a court had granted it and ordered my release.

They just kept holding me there and occasionally trying to get me to self-deport.

I was in detention in El Paso, Texas for about 10 days.

On what I think was the 10th day, I was moved.

A transportation officer asked those of us in the cell if we had eaten, and when some people said they hadn't, he told them to shut up.

20.

I was moved to a detention center in Torrance, New Mexico.

The bus ride to Torrance was scary.

The bus swerved a lot because the driver was falling asleep.

I thought we would die for sure, and I wouldn't be able to do anything because I was chained.

After I arrived in Torrance, I had to wait for about 12 hours to be processed.

They took our temperature, blood pressure, weight, and height, and I think gave us some type of vaccine against measles.

Then I was moved to a room with about 50 other people.

The food there was awful.
