Moret v. Karn

Facts

Julio Moret, a 19-year-old Cuban national, arrived in the United States without a visa or travel documents after being released from prison in Cuba. He was processed by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and released on parole under 8 U.S.C.S. 1182(d)(5). Moret's parole was revoked due to his failure to maintain the conditions of his resettlement, leading to his detention and subsequent petition for habeas corpus relief, which was denied by the district court.
