Michael Correa, a former member of Yahya Jammeh\u2019s kill team, will know his fate in the coming days as the\u00a0Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) is set to file a motion about his nonimmigrant status before competent jurisdiction.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAliens processed for removal may receive their legal due process from federal immigration judges in the immigration courts, which are administered by the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR),\u201d U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Public Affairs Officer, Alethea Smock, told this medium in response to an information request sent on Friday to her.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Michael Correa was arrested last Wednesday by ICE officers in Aurora, Colorado, and has since been in their custody \u201cpending the disposition of his immigration proceedings.\u201d He was mentioned by members of the first batch of Junglers who testified before the ongoing Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission (TRRC). They reportedly carried out a number of extra-judicial killings done at the direction of Gambia\u2019s former longtime ruler.<\/p>\n

The Denver-based ICE spokeswoman also confided to this reporter that\u00a0EOIR is an agency within the U.S. Department of Justice, and is separate from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and ICE. But she was quick to add: \u201cImmigration judges in these courts make decisions based on the merits of each individual case.\u00a0ICE officers carry out the removal decisions made by the federal immigration judges.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yahya Jammeh\u2019s two-decade long rule was punctuated by gross human rights abuses that were mainly carried out by his hit squad.<\/p>\n

In fine, Alethea Smock seized the opportunity to emphasize that\u00a0Correa, a citizen of The Gambia, legally entered the United States Dec. 16, 2016 while indicating that \u201cdid\u00a0not depart in accordance with the terms of his nonimmigrant status.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
