No bail for Maine man detained in car bomb probe
Criminal Law
A Pakistani man detained on an immigration violation in Maine while authorities investigated the attempted Times Square car bombing will continue to be held in jail because an immigration judge revoked his bail.
Mohammad Shafiq Rahman's family rounded up the $10,000 to secure his release only to learn the judge had revoked bail at the urging of immigration officials, said Barry Hoffman, Pakistan's consul general in Boston.
Rahman's attorney is seeking another bail hearing, Hoffman said. Rahman, a computer specialist who overstayed his visa, continues to be held in the Cumberland County Jail.
It was unclear why immigration officials urged the judge to reverse the June 30 decision to set bond.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement "has determined it is most appropriate he remain in custody," spokesman Richard Rocha said.
But Hoffman said it appeared ICE was spending too much of its resources going after someone like Rahman. "I'm sure there are real terrorists out there. Spending all their resources on this case has me mystified," he said.
