One of the 17 people detained by immigration enforcement agents in the raid of a bus in Skowhegan this week is being ordered to be set free.

A federal judge in Bangor is ordering the Venezuelan national released from a detention facility in Fort Fairfield and is granting the person a bond hearing.

The judge’s order also blocks immigration agents from removing the person from Maine, which immigration enforcement has done in the recent past.

The judge determined the government has not distinguished the Venezuelan national’s case from other immigrants who were released after arguing they were denied due process. Court records show 26-year-old Edgar Vicente Bermeo Sicha of Ecuador was denied due process when he was detained in late July at a job site in Maine.

Tuesday, federal agents detained all 17 workers who were riding a bus that was taking them to work at Backyard Farms greenhouse in Madison.

Court documents refer the Venezuelan national B.A.R. The person entered the U.S. in 2023, and was listed as an unaccompanied child, although federal agents say he is now an adult.

The order to release B.A.R was issued by U.S. District Court Judge Stacy D. Newman.

Respondents listed in the case include Attorney General Pamela Bondi, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Acting Director Todd Lyons and several senior immigration enforcement agents
