Overview
- Allan Dabrio Marrero was granted release on a $6,000 bond after a Mississippi hearing, with the judge noting his lack of a criminal record and his marriage to a U.S. citizen.
- The Department of Homeland Security opposed release, citing a 2022 failure to appear that led to a final removal order and arguing he posed a flight risk.
- Local coverage reported the prior removal order was rescinded at the hearing, allowing him to continue pursuing a green card.
- He had been held since Nov. 24 after detention at a routine interview in Manhattan and was moved through facilities in New Jersey, Florida, Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
- Middle Collegiate Church members and a Make the Road New York attorney coordinated support as he prepares to reunite with his husband and return to New York.
