Estefany Rodriguez Florez of Nashville Noticias, who had produced reports that were unflattering to ICE, was arrested during traffic stop
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested a Spanish-language Tennessee news outlet’s reporter who had done stories critical of the agency – but agents didn’t have a warrant, according to court documents filed recently by her lawyer.
A court filing Friday by ICE disputes the assertion that the reporter was arrested without a warrant.
Estefany Rodriguez Florez of Nashville Noticias, who had produced reports that were unflattering to ICE, was arrested Wednesday during a traffic stop. She is being detained by ICE’s enforcement and removal operations, according to documents filed in federal court in Nashville.
Her lawyers called for her immediate release, but ICE has asked a judge to deny the request.
