Remulla said the judges ignored the BI and Department of Justice’s jurisdiction regarding illegal acts committed by aliens in the country.
“So we are filing cases against these judges to find out if there is indeed gross ignorance of the law in granting the habeas corpus petitions … Courts should not step into issues where sovereignty of the country is invoked, especially an issue that is important to us at this point,” he added.Remulla said they also intend to call the attention of the Supreme Court to the behavior not only of the judges but also of the lawyers of the foreign nationals for “making a mockery of the justice system.
The Court of Appeals’ 10th Division earlier granted the habeas corpus petitions of Ang Chin Keong, Choo Jun Cheng, Choo Wei Jazz and a certain Edy and ordered their release “unless there are other lawful causes warranting their continuing restraint.” The foreign nationals, who were among the over 2,000 alleged human trafficking victims “rescued” during the June 27 raid, had claimed they were being held against their will at the Hong Tai compound in Las Piñas since the police operation.
Their petitions were apparently among some 600 that had been filed by foreigners in courts in the city, Remulla said. He added that many of these were granted and that these cases involved four judges. INQSubscribe to our daily newsletter
