Either the immigration detention facility staff have negligible procedures in how they release inmates, or maybe they were angry because NY Governor Patterson let go Qing Hong Wu (who is an Information Technology executive). They did not tell Wu that he was being sent home, he thought he was being transferred to another facility. Whey his family called, they were not give any information. So he walked part of the way home, and thank goodness he had some bus fare... He arrived at home to find a cousin, his family had gone to look for him and was searching all over New Jersey looking for him.
Qing Hong Wu was detained for over four months because of a mugging he committed while a teenager came up in his record when he applied for citizenship.
