An immigration judge set a Thursday bond hearing for Alireza Doroudi, a University of Alabama mechanical engineering doctoral student from Iran arrested by ICE in March.
Doroudi is currently being held in the Jena/LaSalle Detention Facility in Louisiana after initially being detained in Pickens County Jail, according to ICE.
A spokesperson for Doroudi’s attorney told Birmingham’s WVTM 13 on Monday a new bond hearing for his client had been set for later in the week.
“During today’s bond hearing for Mr. Alizera Doroudi, Judge Maithe Gonzalez requested additional information from both parties before issuing a decision. A new bond hearing has been scheduled for Thursday at 3 p.m. CT. Please note that late last week, most immigration master hearings — including Mr. Doroudi’s — were canceled in favor of individual hearings. A date for Mr. Doroudi’s individual hearing has not yet been confirmed,” the spokesperson said.
A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson previously told 1819 News regarding their arrest of Doroudi, “ICE HSI made this arrest in accordance with the State Department’s revocation of Doroudi’s student visa. This individual posed significant national security concerns.”
