Sadly have to cut my time at #NABJ26 short and head back to New York to cover this hearing. If you can, stop by my panel at 3:45 in room M304 - You Did The Digging. Now Tell Me A Story.

From the ruling: During the initial interaction at the McDonald’s (from about 9:29 a.m until about 9:47 a.m), I find that the defendant was not in custody.... Therefore, any of the statements made during that period will not be suppressed.

...the court finds, as established by the video evidence, that at this point, at about 9:47 a.m., the defendant was in custody. Therefore, the responses given to the officers’ questions that were interrogation or the functional equivalent... will be suppressed.

abcnews.com/US/dhs-puts-man-… The DHS website features thousands who the agency claims are the "worst" individuals, including a photo of Cerero-Palacios with his alleged crime, "dangerous drugs." However, a DHS government document showed that Cerero-Palacio has no criminal history. The document, reviewed by ABC News, is known as a "Record of Deportable/Inadmissible Alien," which is created by the agency when individuals are detained. @GarciaReports
