A West Virginia judge ordered the release of a Venezuelan man detained by ICE, ruling prolonged detention without timely court review violates the Constitution.
A West Virginia federal judge has ordered the release of Venezuelan national Larrazabal-Gonzalez, detained by ICE, ruling that prolonged detention without timely judicial review violates the Constitution.
Judge William J. Goodwin stated the government cannot hold individuals in jail-like settings without prompt, meaningful judicial oversight, rejecting efforts to delay the case.
He emphasized that habeas corpus does not permit detention while the government retroactively justifies its actions.
The ruling bars re-arrest unless circumstances change significantly and sets a high standard for appeals.
The case, 2:26-cv-00049, was handled by attorneys from Climate Defense Project and Mountain State Justice for the detainee, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for Southern West Virginia for the government.
