We are calling on ICE to immediately release journalist Estefany Rodriguez, who has covered immigration, including ICE actions, for the Spanish-language news site Nashville Noticias.

One of the bills we'll be watching is Rep. Knox's anti-unhoused bill that bars open flames under bridges and overpasses. This bill could also be used against vendors under the Claiborne Bridge during second lines.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

We don’t yet know if Estefany Rodríguez’s detention was in retaliation for her reporting but we certainly wouldn’t be surprised.

ICE abductions of noncitizen journalists take the reporters best equipped to cover immigration enforcement off the beat.
