United States of America, Plaintiff, v. Miguel Reynaga-Renteria, Defendant.
MATERIAL WITNESS ORDER OF DETENTION
Defendant, Miguel Reynaga-Renteria, having been charged in the District of Arizona with a violation of Count One Title 8, United States Code, Section 1324(a)(1)(A)(ii) and (B)(i) and the Magistrate Judge having determined from the affidavit of the Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection filed in this case, the following persons can provide testimony that is material to the offense(s) alleged in the complaint:
Mario Echeveste-Barroso
Pedro Tinajero-Ortega
Francisco Valdez-Morales
The Magistrate Judge finds that it may become impracticable to secure the presence of the witness(es) by subpoena in further proceedings because they are not in the United States legally and have no legal residence or employment in this Country.
IT IS ORDERED that the witness(es) shall be detained pursuant to 18 USC § 3144 in a corrections facility separate, to the extent practicable, from persons awaiting or serving sentences or being held in custody pending appeal. The witness(es) shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity for private consultation with counsel.
