In a recent ruling, a judge has decided that Ravi Ragbir, an activist and executive director of the New Sanctuary Coalition, should remain in New Jersey as he faces deportation. Ragbir, who has been living in the United States for over two decades, was facing the possibility of being sent back to his native Trinidad and Tobago.
The judge’s decision came in response to a lawsuit filed by Ragbir challenging the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) decision to transfer him to a detention center in Louisiana. Ragbir argued that the transfer would make it difficult for him to access legal counsel and support from his community in New York.
The case has garnered widespread attention and support from activists and lawmakers, who argue that Ragbir’s deportation would be a violation of his rights and a threat to the immigrant community. The ruling to keep Ragbir in New Jersey is seen as a victory for the activist and his supporters.
Despite this temporary relief, the fight for Ragbir’s permanent residency status is far from over. His case highlights the ongoing challenges faced by immigrants in the United States and the urgent need for comprehensive immigration reform.
