Seattle judge won’t immediately release ‘Dreamer’ from detention center

The Seattle Times reports:

Lawyers for detained “Dreamer” Daniel Ramirez Medina went to court Friday seeking his immediate release and calling his arrest in a Des Moines apartment unconstitutional. A federal magistrate ruled he wasn’t empowered to free Ramirez before an immigration judge gets a chance to weigh in.


But in a case that he said had far-reaching implications about federal policy regarding Dreamers, and which has drawn the concern of the Mexican government and immigration activists nationwide, Chief Magistrate Judge James Donohue took the unusual step of requiring that a bond hearing in immigration court be held within a week.

U.S. District Court does not usually exercise authority over the immigration-court system.

Does Daniel Ramirez Medina know about Social Security identity fraud?
