OMAHA — Again on Wednesday, a federal judge rejected the U.S. government’s effort to deny bond to workers detained and facing deportation proceedings following their arrest in Omaha’s Glenn Valley Foods immigration raid.

This time, U.S. District Court Senior Judge Joseph Bataillon presided over a combined hearing in Omaha for three undocumented workers. His decision mirrored that of similar Glenn Valley cases he had ruled on the past several weeks.

Bataillon found that the government was violating due process rights of all three by unlawfully detaining them under an “automatic stay” of a bond an immigration judge earlier had determined was appropriate.

He ordered the detainees to be immediately released upon reposting the respective bond amounts that weeks ago had been set by an immigration judge, but then swiftly challenged by the federal government.
