Federal authorities are releasing fourth-grader Elizabeth Zuna, the first of several students detained by immigration officers in the Minneapolis suburb of Columbia Heights, the school district's superintendent said late Tuesday.
Elizabeth and her mother were "picked up by ICE on their way to school" on Jan. 6 and were being held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, Zena Stenvik said in a statement. Dilley is a town in extreme southeast Texas.
It wasn't clear when they would come back to Minnesota due in part to a measles outbreak at the detention facility that "may require a quarantine period," Stenvik said, adding that "we do not know the status of Elizabeth's health at this time."
But, she went on to say, "We are filled with joy at the anticipation of the family when Elizabeth's father can once again be reunited with his daughter and wife."
Columbia Heights is the same city where five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father were detained last month in a case that sparked much controversy. Both were released from Dilley and returned home Sunday, a day after a federal judge ordered ICE to free them.
