Photo by Glenn Russell/VTDigger A man detained in the armed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement standoff in South Burlington last week was granted bond and released in immigration court Thursday. Held at the Northwest State Correctional Facility in St. Albans Town since last week’s ICE raid, Cristian Humberto Jerez Andrade, 31, attended a virtual bond hearing at the Chelmsford Immigration Court in Massachusetts and spoke via a Spanish interpreter. After hearing arguments from his lawyer and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Judge Natalie Smith granted bond for $10,000 and asked Jerez Andrade to apply for asylum by next Thursday to avoid deportation. His next court date is April 2.  ICE’s March 11 raid on a Dorset Street home led to an hourslong confrontation, street shutdown and forced entry by federal agents amid widespread protest. Jerez Andrade was among three people detained. He was not named on the search warrant ICE officials showed up with that evening, and has not been charged with a crime.  A federal judge in Burlington on Tuesday kept him detained, concerned he could be taken into custody on an outstanding warrant and moved out of state. Jerez Andrade said he wasn’t aware of any warrant, and the government’s lawyer did not present evidence of any warrants.  Federal Judge William K. Sessions III ordered a bond hearing in immigration court within five days. If he had not been released in immigration court, Sessions had planned to have him back in federal court for a hearing that would examine whether his detainment violated his constitutional rights. Jerez Andrade, who is a citizen of Honduras and has lived in the U.S. for more than 10 years, was detained at the Dorset Street house with two others — sisters Jisella Johana Patin Patin, 31, and Daysi Camila Patin Patin, 20, who are citizens of Ecuador. Neither of them were charged with crimes. Local lawyers speedily filed habeas corpus petitions in court alleging the three were detained unlawfully by ICE and obtained temporary orders to prevent the three from being transferred out of state. Johana Patin Patin, who has lived in Vermont for three years, was quickly released on bail Monday by a federal judge in Burlington after her lawyer argued she was not a flight risk nor a danger to the community. She has two children in the schools and a pending asylum case. Camila Patin Patin’s hearing is scheduled for Friday at the federal court in Burlington. She fled Honduras fearing for her life three years ago and entered the U.S. as an unaccompanied minor, according to court documents. The detentions have led to sustained public protest and outcry with friends, neighbors, advocacy and faith groups as well as elected officials calling for their immediate release. Meanwhile, the subject of the ICE warrant that led to the standoff and violence last week — Deyvi Daniel Corona-Sanchez, 24, a Mexican citizen — remains at large. This story will be updated.
