美国地区法官迈克尔·J·戴维斯在其裁决中写道,对原籍安大略省密西沙加市、现年32岁的威廉·利扎尔多医生的逮捕和扣押违反了他的宪法权利。

U.S. District Judge Michael J. Davis wrote in his ruling that the arrest and detention of Dr. William Lizardo, 32, originally of Mississauga, Ont., violated his constitutional rights.

根据法院文件,利扎尔多于2019年持学生签证移居美国,在明尼苏达大学牙医学院学习。他于2023年毕业,并在同年与一名美国人结婚。两年后,他们育有一女。

Lizardo moved to the U.S. on a student visa in 2019 to study at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry, according to court documents He graduated in 2023 and married an American that same year. They had a daughter two years later.

据法院称,利扎尔多的妻子于2023年9月提交了一份亲属移民申请,同时利扎尔多申请将身份调整为永久居民。亲属移民申请于2025年1月获批。

Lizardo's wife filed a petition for an alien relative in September 2023, while Lizardo applied to adjust his status to permanent residency. The relative petition was approved in January 2025, according to the court.

根据法院文件,利扎尔多曾在联邦指定的医疗短缺地区从事牙科工作,直到其工作许可被撤销。在此之后,他开始在明尼苏达州伯恩斯维尔的一家低成本诊所做志愿者。

Lizardo practised dentistry in federally-designated shortage areas until his work authorization was revoked, at which time he started volunteering at a low-cost clinic in Burnsville, Minn., according to the court documents.

新的随身摄像机视频显示了10月9日纽约市移民及海关执法局枪击事件的善后情况,听证会传票被寄往了错误的地址。今年1月,他的永久居民身份申请被拒绝,原因是他未能提供来自安大略省的认证文件。

随后的听证会出庭令被寄往了错误的地址。利扎尔多错过了听证会,随后于10月23日被移民及海关执法局逮捕,被关押在舍本县监狱,并被下令驱逐出美国。

Orders to appear at subsequent hearings were sent to the wrong address. Lizardo missed the hearings and was subsequently arrested by ICE on Oct. 23, detained at Sherburne County Jail and ordered removed from the U.S.

法官称该案的事实“令人震惊”——并指出尽管这对夫妇多次搬家,但利扎尔多每次都在邮局和美国公民及移民服务局(USCIS)“提交了地址变更”。“反过来,移民局在每个新地址都与申请人进行了沟通。”法官还指出,利扎尔多在美国期间从未被捕。

The judge called the facts of the case "appalling" — noting that while the couple moved several times, each time Lizardo "filed changes of address" with the post office and with U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS). "In turn, USCIS communicated with Petitioner at each new address." The judge also noted that Lizardo had never been arrested during his time in the U.S.

由于美国指责加拿大干预选举,加拿大人被卷入了特朗普的选民欺诈打击行动中。这名在埃德蒙顿出生、在移民及海关执法局羁押中心被关押了数月的男子返回加拿大。利扎尔多申请撤销驱逐令,因为他从未收到听证会的通知。移民法庭在发现他提供了缺乏通知的充分证据后,于10月28日批准了该请求。

That request was granted by an immigration court on Oct. 28 after it found he had provided sufficient evidence of lack of notice.

移民及海关执法局辩称,在绿卡案件裁决期间,应将利扎尔多继续拘留。

ICE argued Lizardo should be kept in custody while the green card case was being decided.

法官裁定,移民及海关执法局特工没有理由相信利扎尔多有潜逃风险,并下令将其立即释放。

The judge ruled ICE agents had no reason to believe Lizardo was a flight risk and ordered him immediately released.

法官写道:“由于这里陈述的事实如此令人震惊且证据确凿,法院本可以发布一份冗长的命令,其中包含对申请人所遭受虐待的丰富细节和评论。”相反,他说他只想确保利扎尔多不用在监狱里再度过一夜。“这是一次文书错误”利扎尔多的律师哈桑·艾哈迈德向加拿大广播公司新闻证实,他的客户在法官下令数小时后的周日傍晚终于获释。

"Because the facts presented here are so appalling and so well supported, the Court could issue a long order, complete with colorful details about, and commentary on, the abuses suffered by Petitioner," the judge wrote. Instead, he said he simply wanted to make sure Lizardo didn't spend another night in jail. 'This was a paperwork error' Lizardo's lawyer, Hassan Ahmad, confirmed to CBC News that his client was finally released Sunday evening, hours after the judge's order.

利扎尔多目前正在等待美国公民及移民服务局对其绿卡申请作出决定,艾哈迈德表示,他希望鉴于他的客户所经历的一切,该决定能很快做出。

Lizardo is now waiting for a USCIS decision on his green card application, and Ahmad says he hopes that given what his client has been through, that decision will come soon.

艾哈迈德说:“这是一次文书错误。仅此而已。而他们字面意义上把它搞成了一个联邦案件。”艾哈迈德表示,利扎尔多在等待绿卡决定的同时,不会再次被移民及海关执法局扣押。他说:“我在提交文件时务必确保将这一点写了进去,并且法官签署了同意。”

"This was a paperwork error," Ahmad said. "That's all it was. And they literally made a federal case out of it." Ahmad says Lizardo cannot be detained again by ICE while he is waiting for the decision on his green card. "I made sure to put that in the order when I filed and, and the judge signed on," he said.

艾哈迈德说:“整个驱逐程序从一开始就被玷污了,”并补充说他希望移民及海关执法局就此罢休。

"This whole removal proceedings was tainted from the very beginning," Ahmad said, adding that he hopes ICE will just let it go.
