ACLU and other attorneys filed the lawsuit Wednesday on behalf of a Honduran-born U.S. Citizen who was held in jail without charges because an immigration officer had requested deportation proceedings.
Garland Creedle was arrested March 12 in a case of alleged domestic violence and was due to be released March 13 on bail. The 18-year-old was held an additional night on the "detainer" request before being released March 14 apparently after immigration authorities confirmed his citizenship.
