Overview
- Paul John Bojerski remains in ICE custody at Krome after a Tuesday hearing where no bond ruling was issued.
- DHS counsel said she will appeal if bond is granted and would pursue a new removal order to a third country if the 1968 order is deemed invalid.
- His attorney argues that a 1988 return from Canada satisfied the old deportation order, while DHS disputes any proof of a lawful reentry.
- Family and counsel cite serious health problems, irregular access to required medications, and a recent fall from his wheelchair that resulted in a minor concussion.
- The longtime U.S. resident has complied with supervision for years and is considered not a flight risk, though DHS points to his criminal history, including a 1972 rape conviction.
