Request for Custody Redetermination Hearing (2008-02-11)

Synopsis

On 2008-02-06, DHS admitted in court that they didn't actually have any evidence of alienage, and both DHS and the Immigration Judge acknowledged that DHS is required to establish alienage before any burden shifts to me TR 2008-02-06 p21l21-p22l1.

By admitting and acknowledging that, DHS and the Immigration Court were conceding that until DHS establishes a person's alienage, neither DHS nor the Immigration Court has any authority or jurisdiction over the person and cannot, legally, detain the person on immigration related allegations.

So, following those admissions in court, that ICE/DHS had no legal authority to detain me, I requested a new bond hearing. The Immigration Court ignored the request.
