旧金山——加州州众议员凯瑟琳·斯特凡尼(Catherine Stefani)的地区代表、出生于香港的毛皓延(Ho Yin Mo)被美国移民与海关执法局(ICE)拘留15天后,于10月2日获移民法官批准保释释放,其递解程序尚未结束。毛皓延现年28岁,此前曾任旧金山湾区华语电视台KTSF记者。他于9月17日在内华达州拉斯维加斯哈里·里德国际机场被ICE拘留,其后被关押在内华达州帕伦普(Pahrump)的拘留中心。
ICE称,毛皓延于2020年1月合法入境,按规定应于同年5月15日前离境而逾期未走。他的律师表示,毛皓延已于2023年提交庇护申请、目前待审,并持有有效工作许可;其友人称他受香港DED保护覆盖,但该资格未获当局确认。拘留期间,旧金山市长丹尼尔·卢里(Daniel Lurie)与11名市议员曾公开发声呼吁释放。
California Assembly Staffer Ho Yin Mo Released on Bond Oct. 2 After 15 Days in ICE Custody
SAN FRANCISCO — Ho Yin Mo, a Hong Kong-born district representative for California Assemblymember Catherine Stefani, was released on bond by an immigration judge on October 2 after 15 days in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody; his removal proceedings are not over. Mo, 28, previously worked as a reporter for Bay Area Chinese-language station KTSF. He was detained by ICE on September 17 at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas and held at a detention center in Pahrump, Nevada.
ICE says Mo entered the United States lawfully in January 2020 and overstayed a departure deadline of May 15, 2020. His attorney says Mo filed for asylum in 2023, that the application is pending, and that he holds a valid work permit; friends say he is covered by Hong Kong DED, a claim authorities have not confirmed. While he was detained, San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie and 11 members of the Board of Supervisors publicly called for his release.
