Canadian dentist detained by ICE in Minnesota ordered released by federal judge
Dr. William Lizardo was arrested Oct. 23 at a green card interview
asserted
Lizardo → detain → interview
A Canadian dentist detained by U.S. federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Minnesota during a green card interview has been ordered released by a federal judge.
asserted
dentist → detain → judge
U.S. District Judge Michael J. Davis wrote in his ruling that the arrest and detention of Dr. William Lizardo, 32, originally of Mississauga, Ont., violated his constitutional rights.
asserted
arrest → write → rights
Lizardo moved to the U.S. on a student visa in 2019 to study at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry, according to court documents.
uncertain
Lizardo → move → documents
He graduated in 2023 and married an American that same year.
asserted
He → graduate → American
They had a daughter two years later.
asserted
They → have → daughter
Lizardo's wife filed a petition for an alien relative in September 2023, while Lizardo applied to adjust his status to permanent residency.
asserted
Lizardo → file → residency
The relative petition was approved in January 2025, according to the court.
uncertain
petition → approve → court
Lizardo practiced dentistry in federally-designated shortage areas until his work authorization was revoked, at which time he started volunteering at a low-cost clinic in Burnsville, Minn., according to the court documents.
uncertain
he → practice → documents
In January, his request for permanent residency was denied because he had failed to provide a certfied document from Ontario.
asserted
he → deny → Ontario
Orders to appear at subsequent hearings were sent to the wrong address.
asserted
Orders → appear → address
Lizardo missed the hearings and was subsequently arrested by ICE Oct. 23, detained at Sherburne County Jail, and ordered removed from the U.S.
The judge called the facts of the case "appalling" — noting that while the couple moved several times, each time Lizardo "filed changes of address with the post office and with USCIS [U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services].
asserted
Lizardo → miss → USCIS
In turn, USCIS communicated with Petitioner at each new address."
asserted
USCIS → communicate → address
The judge also noted that Lizardo had never been arrested during his time in the U.S.

Lizardo filed to have the order of removal rescinded as he had never received the notices for the hearings.
asserted
he → note → hearings
That request was granted by an immigration court on Oct. 28 after it found he had provided sufficient evidence of lack of notice.
asserted
he → grant → notice
ICE argued Lizardo should be kept in custody while the green card case was being decided.
asserted
case → argue → custody
The judge ruled ICE agents had no reason to believe Lizardo was a flight risk and ordered him immediately released.
"Because the facts presented here are so appalling and so well supported, the Court could issue a long order, complete with colorful details about, and commentary on, the abuses suffered by Petitioner," the judge wrote.
uncertain
judge → rule → Petitioner
Instead, he said he simply wanted to make sure Lizardo didn't spend another night in jail.
asserted
Lizardo → say → jail
