A federal judge today ordered the regime to immediately release a man ICE employees pulled out of his pickup in Malden after they drove in front of him and slammed on their brakes, forcing him to rear end them on Sept. 17.

Another federal judge had ordered ICE to bring Edgar Hernan Elias Escobar before an immigration judge by Oct. 10 for a hearing at which to set "bond" - the immigration equivalent of bail - so that he could be freed as he pursues his case to stay in the US, where he is married to an American citizen.

US District Court Judge Leo Sorokin promptly agreed: "ICE shall release Petitioner from custody immediately."
