A federal judge in San Francisco has extended a restraining order against ICE regarding Guillermo Medina Reyes's immigration case. Reyes, who immigrated at six, was convicted at 16. After serving ten years in prison, he was transferred to ICE custody upon release in 2021. Activists have rallied in support of Reyes, emphasizing collective liberation. Following a new vandalism charge, his attorney filed a habeas petition, leading to a temporary restraining order. Reyes remains free with an ankle monitor while advocating for improved conditions in detention centers.
Reyes came to the United States when he was six years old. After being convicted of an attempted murder charge at 16, he spent 10 years in prison.
Almost 100 people gathered early Tuesday morning outside the downtown San Francisco federal courthouse at 450 Golden Gate Ave. before his hearing, raising banners reading 'Protect our neighbors' and chanting slogans like 'From Palestine to Mexico, the border walls have got to go.'
