Marrero was detained at 26 Federal Plaza in November, when he and his husband, Matthew Marrero, appeared for a Green Card application. However, DHS is reportedly defying the Judge’s orders and is blocking the bond with a formal stay. amNewYork reached out to DHS for an explanation about the Allan Marrero case, and is awaiting a response. During Tuesday’s bond hearing, DHS attorneys argued that Allan Marrero should remain detained because he missed a previous court appointment, which was the agency’s original reason to detain him in November. Despite the setback, Matthew Marrero told amNewYork that he will continue fighting for his husband’s release.
