Biography
Eli Calvo Cruz was a Migrant Justice member arrested by Border Patrol on October 25, 2018. The organization’s federal complaint states that ICE detained him on a $14,000 bond even though an earlier proceeding had set a lower bond and administratively closed his case. Migrant Justice organized a campaign supporting him. The complaint reports that an immigration judge released him on $1,500 bond on November 9, 2018; this record distinguishes that court action from independently verified physical discharge. The broader retaliation claim remains attributed to the plaintiffs.
