DHS is claiming that this man overstayed a visa from 2019, and received a final order of removal from an immigration judge on July 22, 2026. The deadline to appeal such decisions is 30 days, which recently expired.

Edit: And this final order of removal was a default judgement, because he failed to appear at the hearing. He was probably sent a Notice to Appear in the mail and either ignored it or never received the notice.

If he can prove he never received actual notice (maybe the address was bad) he can probably still challenge this. But he needs a lawyer, like yesterday.
