Advocacy Group Files Emergency Petition After ICE Detains Nashville Reporter
Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition challenges warrantless detention of reporter Estefany Rodriguez, alleging retaliation linked to her ICE investigations.
- On Monday, U.S. District Judge Eli Richardson ordered the government to explain why ICE detained Nashville Noticias reporter and why she remains in an Alabama facility, with a March 12 response deadline and March 17 hearing.
- The Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition filed an emergency habeas petition Tuesday, alleging retaliation for Rodriguez's ICE reporting, amended Sunday night.
- In south Nashville, ICE detained Estefany Maria Rodríguez Florez outside a gym and took her from her marked press car while her husband watched; attorneys say the arrest was warrantless, and DHS later posted a warrant that appears issued after her arrest.
- Her attorneys seek immediate release and ask the court to enjoin enforcement actions, with lawyers requesting federal habeas and immigration-court bond relief.
- Amid press‑freedom concerns, TIRRC said the case fits a pattern of ICE actions; Rodriguez came to the U.S. five years ago with a pending asylum application and a green card application filed January, and her attorneys say she has no criminal history.
