US federal judges ordered to release three Indians detained without due process

US federal judges in California have ordered immigration authorities to release three Indian citizens, saying they were detained without hearings or proper notice after earlier being allowed to live in the United States.

The rulings were issued this week in separate cases in the Eastern and Southern Districts of



California. In each case, the courts found that Immigration and Customs Enforcement failed to follow basic due process requirements before re-arresting the men.

All three are Indian nationals who had been released by immigration authorities and were pursuing asylum or other immigration relief when they were detained again.
