Summary
An immigration judge has ordered the deportation of Rafael Andres Rubio Bohorquez, a former New York City Council employee. City Council Speaker Julie Menin condemned the ruling as a “miscarriage of justice” and pledged to fight back by filing an appeal. Rubio Bohorquez was detained in January after being identified by the Department of Homeland Security as a Venezuelan “criminal illegal alien” who overstayed his visa. Local officials dispute DHS claims, stating that Rubio Bohorquez had legal authorization to remain in the U.S.

As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
The deportation order was met with strong opposition from local officials, who disputed DHS claims and stressed that Rubio Bohorquez had legal authorization to remain in the U.S. The case has become a point of contention, with City Council Speaker Julie Menin condemning the ruling and pledging to fight back. The process has now entered a familiar phase, with an appeal being filed and demands for Rubio Bohorquez’s immediate release. The fate of a man who “has done everything right and poses no risk to anyone” hangs in the balance, as the technical error of a missing signature on his asylum application has become the deciding factor.
