After a judge ordered Isabel be released from detention in MN with her belongings, ICE sent her home—but didn't return her work permit, ID, checks worth $700, or her daughter’s US passport. Isabel is one of many now missing key immigration and identity documents www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Breaking: Ian has been released without conditions. He was greeted by a group of veterans and other supporters outside the courthouse. Story to come!

I met Ian outside the Whipple Building in Mpls last week, where he was protesting ICE. I was blown away by his vulnerability, by how deeply he—a 6-time combat vet—feels like his nation is under attack. I just learned that he was among those arrested by federal officials for protesting at the church.

Update: Paul Dama was released from immigration detention on Thursday night! This is him and his sister Cecelia

So, so impressed by this reporting
