An Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainee who contracted the Chinese coronavirus has been released from the Bergen County Jail in Hackensack, New Jersey. The infected detainee was released following a federal judge in New York City ordering ten illegal aliens released from custody citing inadequate conditions.
The risk that Petitioners will face a severe, and quite possibly fatal, infection if they remain in immigration detention constitutes irreparable harm warranting a TRO, US District Court Judge Analisa Torres wrote in her order. Respondents have exhibited, and continue to exhibit, deliberate indifference to Petitioners medical needs.
Bergen County officials maintain that the allegations of poor conditions at the facility are false. An ICE official also told Buzzfeed that detainees have access to comprehensive medical care while at the facility and any that may be isolated for COVID-19 will be seen daily by medical professionals.
The detainee who tested positive, the first positive result in ICE custody in the nation, was identified by Buzzfeed News only under the pseudonym Gabriel. He is said to be a 31-year-old restaurant worker at a Japanese place with an eight year old daughter.
Buzzfeed reports that Gabriel was tested on Monday as his symptoms kept worsening. His results were positive.
After Gabriel gathered the strength to leave his cell on Sunday to fill a cup with hot water for tea, he fainted on the way back and fell down a flight of stairs. His fellow immigrant detainees picked him up and urged him to get medical help: You got it. You got coronavirus!' Buzzfeed reports.
On Thursday, he was released from the detention center, despite having no way to feed his child or pay rent.
The place I used to work at before is closed. I have no way to pay the rent, or food for my daughter, he told BuzzFeed News while in self-isolation.
Buzzfeed reports, on Thursday, Gabriel was released from the jail. Outside the facility, he reunited with his childs mother. After a few blocks, he began to feel sick and threw up multiple times. His attorney called an ambulance and he was taken to a local hospital. After receiving treatment, he was released to his sister, who lives in the Bronx, because she had a spare room he could self-quarantine in.
What this judge is doing sounds similar to what a top level French politician said about having no lockdowns on migrant areas in France.
Thanks, judge.
I hope they go visit your loved ones.
Sounds like the safe choice! /Sarcasm.
Analisa Torres is just another Barack Obama stooge. Go figure!
More insanity from Nuevo Joisey.
Quarantine NYC & NJ.
The Cloward and Piven strategy beyond the economic is being implemented. Now we have Communist judges releasing thousands of criminals back onto the streets under the guise of compassion.
When it becomes the Purge out there, the American public will clamor for government to save them and the cost will be high.
If he is in this country illegally, I wonder if we have any guarantee he will self-quarantine?
I think at some point in the near future, we may be looking at that here in Florida Land too.
Too much partying was allowed to go on here, Gudnuh Ron.
Analisa Torres. ‘Nuff said.
This all continues until one side kills and totally vanquishes the other side. There’s no longer any middle ground.
NE is a sewer
Well, his lawyer obviously has that unwise Latina judge on speed dial to get his illegal detainees off. The lawyer or the judge should have to take him into their homes.
No one should feel sorry for people too stupid to run a city or a state.
I’m pretty sure illegals only infect other illegals. Yep.
This is appearing to be a part of a democrat plan to allow CV positive illegals, as well as the denizens of NYC, L.A. and other large democrat cities to stream out into the rest of the country. Declaring martial law and lockdown of these cities should be considered.
When the dust settles on this, someone should do a disaggregated analysis of the infection rates. That is, compare the per-capita rates in: red vs. blue states; sanctuary cities (or states) vs. those that enforce laws; states with R vs D governors; states with activist Obama judges, vs those with a responsible judiciary; etc.
Dems, the MSM and other leftists are claiming that Trump ‘owns’ this contagion. They conveniently overlook the role of state governments, where those states are hardest hit (taking a page from their Katrina playbook). Please don’t let them away with that.
Send him to the Judges neighborhood.
In 1774, John Malcolm was a Crown customs collector, based in Boston. At that time Boston had had five years of civic tension culminating in the Boston Massacre. Malcolm, like most Crown representatives didn't much like the Bostonians and harboured smouldering resentment against the uppity locals who had been resisting Crown authority since the Stamp Act in 1768. They made his job difficult. Malcolm had more reason than most to hold a grudge against the colonists. He had only recently had a run-in with the good people of Portland, Maine on a customs matter over which they had disagreed. The Portland folks saw fit to tar and feather Malcolm but were kind enough to allow him to remain clothed for the treatment. Being a prideful man who was impressed by his own authority, this didn't sit well.
In the snow covered streets of Boston in January, Malcolm was run over by a boy sledding in the street. Malcolm, his temper getting the best of him, raised his cane to strike the boy. George Hewes, a local shoemaker, intervened and Malcolm turned on Hewes. At first, Malcolm tried to overawe Hewes with his social rank - being a gentleman and, in Malcolm's mind, a hero of the French and Indian War. Hewes took the vituperation of Malcolm with a grain of salt and retorted "Be that as it may, I was never tarred and feathered." That was the match to Malcolm's tinder and he flew at Hewes and struck him a near fatal blow to the head with his cane.
The town of Boston was already electric with tension between the locals and Crown representatives and word of this attack spread almost instantly. A crowd gathered at Malcolm's house while he shouted out a window, relishing baiting the crowd into an uproar, and flourishing with his sword, eventually stabbing one man in the chest.
The crowd swarmed the house, forcing Malcolm to retreat to the second floor. Malcolm was eventually disarmed and the crowd seized him, tied him, put him on a sled and dragged him through the town as brickbats rained upon him.
After pulling him by the wharfs to pick up a barrel of tar, the mob took him to King St, by the Town House, where political rallies were customarily held and where the Massacre had occurred.
In the chill of the coldest night of a Boston January Malcolm was stripped, dislocating his arm, and hot tar daubed on his bare skin, burning his flesh.
Feathers then were applied to give what was then called the "modern jacket". Malcolm was then paraded, both burned and freezing, from one end of the town to the other and back. At the Liberty Tree they threw a noose around his neck and threatened to hang him if he didn't denounce the Governor and the Customs Commissioners. He refused but they didn't hang him. Instead they paraded him back to the far end of town again, eventually rolling him out of the cart at his home "like a log."
Malcolm wasn't the first or last to suffer from the people's anger. In the time before Concord and Lexington many Crown representatives as well as colonists in government positions suffered their houses to be ransacked, demolished or fired and their persons to be insulted most cruelly. Soon, the British Regulars - the Redcoats - the Crown's SWAT teams of the time - which had been withdrawn after the Boston Massacre in an attempt to calm matters were returned in force and Boston was placed under martial law.
