Miami jail sued for flawed and illegal holding of US citizen for deportation to Honduras

Despite his citizenship being proven in court in 2015, 18-year-old Garland Creedle was held in a Miami-Dade jail for a day longer than was required by an arrest based on a faulty deportation request from ICE.

According to the Miami Herald, the ACLU is suing the Miami-Dade jail as well as Miami Mayor Carlos Gimenez because they “unlawfully detained Mr. Creedle against his will and without legal authority.”

Despite being born in Honduras, Creedle was born to a father who held American citizenship — and in 2015, shortly after he arrived in the U.S., a court ruled that he was indeed a citizen because of his father’s citizenship.

Nonetheless, he was the subject of a detention request issued on March 13, a day after he was arrested and posted bail for a domestic violence charge. The request alleged that Creedle was a “removable alien” and required an additional 48 hour stay in jail. After being interviewed by immigration authorities, he was allowed to leave a day later and the “detainer request” was reversed.

taking those dangerous 8 year olds and their parents away after playing games. Nice to see members of MS-13 still running rampant, but those 8 year old bad hombre babies...whew, I feel safer.
