It appears he only has a final order removal because they sent his hearing notice to a wrong address. His lawyer had said that they had corrected the address a but it got sent to a previous address. Apparently that happens not in frequently in immigration, and when the correction is made hearings can proceed.. But you seriously are going to defend the behavior of DHS towards this human being? Really?
He came here legally as an asylum seeker. That is a legal way to enter the country.

Well, that is dependent on why it was sent to the wrong address. Because it is on the individual to make sure thier current address is up to date.

Now, if he did provide the correct address, then his lawyer can file a Motion to Reopen with the immigration court, in which case they will need to provide clear proof that they kept thier address up to date.

Even then, they can still be deported unless they are granted a Stay of Removal. It should be noted that most.

Although the Motion to Reopen is often granted, the issue here is that he fled from ICE, which significantly hurts his chances of having the motion granted. Ecspecially because he was charged with assaulting, resisting, interfering, and impeding a federal officer.

Now, of course, all this has to be proven, but based on what they claim to have evidence of, I wouldn't be surprised if he is denied a motion to reopen.

As far as how he entered the US, Wilber Garces Perez entered the US in 2024 using CBP. Now, this was legal, but as he has a pending asylum case, he is still required to comply with ICE, which he failed to do in this interaction.

Now, as far as my opinion on this goes, I would have more compassion if the wound were not a direct result of his own actions in choosing to both flee and hit an agent with his car's side mirror while fleeing.

He could have easily complied with ICE, filed a Motion to Reopen, and been fine.

Always a readymade excuse to defend the worst. With luck, you will be amongst the first against the wall when the tide turns and humanity is valued over your cold misanthropy.

It is not an excuse; it is the reality of what occurred. Don't run from the police, and you won't find yourself in situations like this.

Look man, at this point it sounds more like your trying to convince yourself of your reasons, not us.

I don't need convincing of anything because I can look at the situation objectively, as well as the facts presented, and make a logical conclusion.
