PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A Pakistani man detained on an immigration violation in Maine while authorities investigated the attempted Times Square car bombing is due in court.

Mohammad Shafiq Rahman is expected to appear Tuesday before an immigration judge in Boston via video link from Portland, Maine, where Rahman is being detained.

Rahman, of South Portland, was one of three Pakistani men in New England charged with immigration violations as authorities investigated the May 1 attempted car bombing.

A judge set bond for Rahman but later reversed the decision. Rahman’s lawyer has said Rahman once met Faisal Shahzad, who pleaded guilty to 10 charges in the Times Square case. But they hadn’t had contact for years.
