Federal Judge Orders Deportation of NYC Council Data Analyst: A Cruel and Inhumane Decision
A federal judge has ruled that Rafael Rubio, a data analyst for the New York City Council, must be deported to Venezuela despite overstaying a tourist visa, facing an assault charge, and lacking work authorization. The decision came after more than two months in custody, with the judge labeling Rubios asylum application abandoned due to a missing signature, despite offers to fix it. City Council Speaker Julie Menin and New York Attorney General Letitia James have criticized the decision, noting Rubio passed all city background checks and followed the law. Rubio remains in ICE detention while his lawyers prepare an appeal and fight a separate Temporary Protected Status application.
