Nashville journalist Estefany Rodríguez, who reports on immigration for Nashville Noticias, was released from ICE detention in Louisiana after 15 days. Rodríguez, a Colombian native who came to the US five years ago with a work permit and applied for asylum and a green card, was detained in Nashville on March 4th. ICE stated her tourist visa expired in 2021, but her lawyers allege she was detained without a warrant and targeted for her reporting on ICE activities. While detained, Rodríguez was allegedly subjected to harsh treatment, including isolation and being doused with a cleaning liquid. She was released after a judge granted a $10,000 bond, raising concerns among press freedom and immigration advocates.
