Frescia Garro Pinchi had been released on bond. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested her again, without a warrant, at a courthouse. The court held that a person previously released on bond holds a protected liberty interest, that she was therefore likely to succeed on her claim that due process entitles her to a hearing before a neutral immigration judge before any re-arrest, and that the government may not re-detain her absent clear and convincing evidence of flight risk or danger to the community.
Caution A district court decision, binding on the parties only. It is about warrantless re-arrest and the right to a hearing before re-detention. It does not concern a final order of removal, protection under the Convention against Torture, or removal to a third country. The case is now docketed as Garro Pinchi v. Mullin after a change of respondent; the surname is Garro Pinchi, not Pinchi.

The court's own text
Read from the preliminary injunction of 24 July 2025, obtained free from govinfo. This decision reached the Coalition through a secondary research memorandum that listed it among decisions about removal to a third country. It is not one. It is recorded here as what it is, a decision about re-detention, because that is the step that immediately precedes a third-country removal and the register would be incomplete without this line of cases. The mislabelling is noted rather than repeated.
