An immigration judge has ordered the deportation of a man who was detained on Long Island earlier this year.<\/p>\n
Rafael Rubio, a New York City Council staffer, was originally held after a routine asylum appointment in Bethpage in January.<\/p>\n
The 45-year-old is now being ordered to return to Venezuela, according to council speaker Julie Menin.<\/p>\n
Menin released a statement Wednesday saying the ruling is based on a technical error.<\/p>\n
“This outcome does not change the fundamental facts of this case: Rafael had legal authorization to remain in the United States, he followed the rules, and he showed up for a routine immigration appointment \u2014 only to be detained and held for months now,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n
The city council says an appeal will be filed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An immigration judge has ordered the deportation of a man who was detained on Long Island earlier this…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":168116,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[45277,9,1057,56,63,65,64],"class_list":["post-168115","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-ice-detainee","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city-council","tag-ny","tag-nyc","tag-nyc-headlines","tag-nyc-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168115","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=168115"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168115\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/168116"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=168115"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=168115"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=168115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
