Overview
- ICE detained 21-year-old Esteban Danilo Quiroga-Chaparro inside a San Francisco USCIS office on Oct. 22 and transferred him to Golden State Annex, with his case reassigned to the Adelanto court for a Nov. 4 hearing.
- DHS says agents acted on an existing detention order after missed check-ins, a claim his partner rejects while pointing to possible errors in ICE’s BI Smart Link monitoring.
- Relatives report difficult conditions at Golden State Annex, including crowded dorms and limited access to bathrooms, showers, and communication devices.
- In a separate case highlighted by The New York Times, DHS acknowledged Alejandro Juárez was removed to Mexico in September without a judicial hearing, and officials indicated his return could be arranged under ICE custody as his case proceeds.
- Community responses are growing, with Washington, D.C. priest Father Carlos Reyes accompanying immigrants to court after saying about 60 parishioners were recently arrested or deported, and former detainees like José Padrón describing months in crowded cells and steep barriers to bond.
