OK - now in habeas case of blind man from Ecuador detained in 26 Federal Plaza, now transferred according to AUSA - continued from Friday. Inner City Press is covering the case and live tweeting, thread below

AUSA: When ICE moved him, they got him a walker. We have learned that he cannot read braille - we are seeking a dedicated text to voice device. He is not permitted to have a cell phone in detention...

AUSA: Regarding the separation of Mr. Chalco from his son, ICE is willing to try to keep them together. Because OCJ cannot accommodate them both, we are looking for another facility. They allege, about his cane - he was given a walker. But I see he prefers a cane

AUSA: He cannot use a cane in OCJ. There is a facility in Georgia that could accommodate him - outside of the SDNY. Judge Carter: Why can they accommodate a walker and not a cane? AUSA: OCJ is not part of the Federal government. ICE tells me they have rules

AUSA: Apparently it is because a cane can be used as a weapon. I don't personally understand how a walker is different, but... Judge Carter: The US is to respond to the amended petition by November 13, reply by November 14. Then a hearing on November 18 at 9:30
