Attorneys had to threaten Texas state officials with legal action and chase prison buses to find two men who were imprisoned in Gov. Abbott’s border immigration operation, but who were ordered released when charges against them were dropped this week.
The men, Ivan Ruano Nava and David Vega Muñoz, should have been released from the Dolph Briscoe Unit state prison in Dilley by Thursday afternoon when a federal immigration detainer, good for 48 hours, expired at 1:47 p.m., attorneys said.
“It has been wild, wild, wild,’ said Kevin Herrera, an attorney with the group Just Futures Law and an attorney for the men. “We are still not entirely sure where they are.” The governor’s operation has been blasted by immigration advocates and attorneys, who say it is unconstitutional for denying people due process, violates state laws, creates chaos in local governments and overwhelms local officials.
Nava and Muñoz were imprisoned more than 50 days, past the 45 days the state had to charge them. In a hearing Tuesday, a judge dismissed the charges and ordered them released. Hurst said the agency does not release people directly from those prisons. Sending them to the Val Verde County processing center is part of the usual process and complies with the judge’s order, he said.According to the attorneys’ letter, there are no exceptions to the requirement that a prisoner be released promptly if the 48-hour immigration detainer has expired and ICE has not taken custody of the person.
