I called the lawyer and the lawyer told the detention center supervisor that it is a human rights violation to let a man out on the streets without HIS OWN belongings. Lawyer threatened to make a big fucking deal if his belongings were not returned and if he was not let go in the next couple hours. She said "If he spends an extra night in the jail after the bond was posted and bail approved, you better believe I will contact your supervisor and his supervisor". Finally sorted it out and let him go at 8pm.
Thank you all your thoughts and prayers. It meant a lot!!

what a nightmare, glad to hear he was granted bail, and has been released. keeping your family in thoughts, hope for the best outcome
can you share the process/conditions how he was granted bail? I read of many immigrants these days that are denied bail by immigration judges, and am curious
