Short-term outcome is pretty clear, though. Just waiting on the judge’s written order due tomorrow.
U.S. District Judge David Briones was blunt with attorneys representing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials after a 90-minute hearing Wednesday on whether a couple from Venezuela should remain in their custody in El Paso. "You don't have anything," Briones said. "By Friday, (they) are going to be freed. Let's see what court you are going to next," Briones said after ending the hearing before closing arguments. He said the arguments weren't necessary because the government presented no "real evidence" on why the couple should remain in ICE custody. His final ruling will be outlined in his formal final order, which is expected by Friday, he said.
