Detained Without Due Process

After nearly 250 days in ICE detention at the notoriously troubled Adelanto facility, Clayton Herman walked free Monday thanks to a federal judge’s ruling that his arrest violated due process — sparked by shaky evidence tied to a VeriWatch tracking device. Herman, a Canadian-born immigrant who overstayed his visa two decades ago, described prison food as “garbage” and now plans to fight for others stuck in the system, using his own ordeal to push for justice and reform. The judge found the previous immigration judge abused discretion in labeling him a flight risk, and while DHS will decide future conditions, Herman’s lawyer says his case exposes a broken system where immigrants are detained without fair hearings — often in deplorable conditions. Now free, Herman vows to keep helping detainees and hopes his case becomes a precedent for those wrongly targeted by monitoring tech tied to the very facility holding them.
