SAN FRANCISCO - A federal immigration judge in San Francisco on Wednesday released an Oakland father of three out on $5,000 bond after he had been held in ICE custody for the last nine months.
Immigration Judge Alison E. Daw declared that Ricardo Mercado, 38 – held in the West County Detention Facility in Richmond since July 11, 2017 – was not a danger to society and not a flight risk with the amount of money his wife, Lilia Perez, posted immediately after the hearing. She ran to the bank to get a cashier's check. Eventually, the family will recoup the money.
