Nashville reporter detained by ICE could soon be released
Newsy
There have now been multiple delays in the expected release of Estefany Rodriguez, a reporter for Nashville Noticias, who was detained on March 4.
Estefany Rodriguez, a reporter arrested by ICE earlier this month in Nashville, is set to be freed on bond while her case proceeds, but continued delays through Wednesday mean she has not yet been released.
Attorneys for Estefany Rodriguez told the court during a conference call on Wednesday that her family had trouble with the electronic system for paying her bond, so she will have to wait one more day before she's released.
Rodriguez's attorney, Michael Holley, said this has been the case for anyone signing up through this system for the first time, so the family now plans on driving the money to a Memphis ICE facility for faster processing, before picking up Rodriguez from the Louisiana ICE facility where she's currently being held.
Rodriguez is expected to return to Nashville by Thursday afternoon, while her attorneys continue pursuing their case against ICE for allegedly violating their clients constitutional rights when she was detained.
Holley and Rodriguez's legal team will work on a brief detailing what if any bond conditions were imposed on their client, so the courts in Nashville are aware of any limitations for Rodriguez. They will also have to respond to the government's motion to dismiss the pending lawsuit.
