Djadju v. Vega

Facts

Djadju filed a petition for habeas corpus on May 29, 2020, challenging his confinement at the Broward Transition Center (BTC) due to concerns about COVID-19. He argued that the conditions at BTC were unsafe and that he should be released. The court reviewed the petition alongside the government's response and Djadju's reply, ultimately finding that the conditions of confinement did not violate his rights and that he had not shown that he was medically vulnerable according to CDC criteria.
