U.S. DISTRICT COURT JUDGE WANTS TO #BRINGOUMARHOME, NOTES DHS’ TROUBLING DELAY IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE FEDERAL COURT ORDER

February 7, 2020

For immediate release

Oumar Yaide’s legal team at Pangea Legal Services releases a statement following a federal status conference regarding DHS’ compliance with U.S. District Court Judge Breyer’s order to bring Oumar back to the United States:

In a status conference on Friday, February 7, 2020, the Department of Homeland Security made unsubstantiated claims as to why the government cannot comply with the federal court order issued by U.S. District Court Judge Charles Breyer back in December 18, 2019. Judge Breyer emphasized that the U.S. government created this situation and wants Oumar to be brought back. Given the troubling delay in compliance with the federal order, Judge Breyer summoned a representative of DHS to report to a follow-up status conference set for February 14, 2020. 

“DHS is currently dragging their feet,” said Sean Lai McMahon, Oumar’s attorney, “To date, DHS has not presented a concrete plan as to how Oumar will be brought back. Oumar is making his best efforts, while living in fear of being targeted, and we expect that DHS does their part too.”
