Colombian-born journalist Estefany Rodríguez Flórez, lawfully in the U.S. with a work permit, was released after over two weeks in ICE custody following a traffic stop.
Estefany Rodríguez Flórez, a Colombian-born Spanish-language journalist for Nashville Noticias, was released on March 19 after over two weeks in ICE custody following a traffic stop on March 4.
She had entered the U.S. legally, held a valid work permit, and was applying for asylum due to fears of persecution in Colombia.
Her attorneys argue she was wrongfully detained, citing lack of a valid warrant, possible retaliation for her critical reporting on ICE, and mistreatment in custody, including isolation and a painful shower incident.
A federal judge set a $10,000 bond for her release, and her legal team continues challenging the detention, with press freedom groups warning the case could deter journalism on sensitive topics.
