Guillermo Medina Reyes faced possible deportation after a court hearing in San Francisco. Judge Rita F. Lin extended a temporary restraining order against ICE until Thursday. Reyes, who has a criminal history and was previously detained, is seeking a preliminary injunction to prevent ICE from detaining him again. Following the hearing, supporters rallied outside, emphasizing the community's commitment to fighting for immigrant rights. Reyes expressed the importance of standing up against injustices, citing fears that the situation may worsen if not addressed. He was previously charged with vandalism related to ICE actions affecting his mental health.
Rita F. Lin, U.S. District Judge for Northern California, extended a temporary restraining order against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to 5 p.m. this Thursday.
Reyes, 31, told the cheering crowd they should not be afraid to fight for what is right, warning that if they don't act now, things could worsen.
After serving time for a conviction for attempted murder as a teenager, he spent 15 months in immigration detention until his release on bond in 2023.
He was charged with felony vandalism stemming from an incident in May, which his legal team described as a mental health crisis triggered by ICE activity.
