RELEASE: FIGHTING THE UNLAWFUL ARREST AND DETENTION OF ESTEFANY RODRIGUEZ
“TIRRC filed Estafany’s petition in court because she is the latest face in ICE’s increasingly unlawful and abusive campaign against immigrant communities. What happened to Estefany is devastating but far too common as across the country ICE continues to execute warrantless searches and arrests.
