The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Puerto Rico filed an emergency habeas corpus petition in the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico on behalf of Albeto Pierre, a Haitian immigrant detained by federal agents on Christmas Eve in Barrio Obrero, Santurce, while accompanying his partner to a prenatal appointment.
The legal action challenged his arbitrary detention as lacking a lawful basis and asks the court to order his immediate release, as well as to prevent his imminent transfer outside the jurisdiction of Puerto Rico.
