Federal judge to hear case of Salvadoran mother in ICE detention


Listen Later

A federal judge in St. Paul is set to hear the case of a 25-year-old Salvadoran mother who has been in ICE detention for more than two weeks. Antonia Aguilar Maldonado, who lives in Lake Elmo with her husband and two U.S. citizen children, was detained by Homeland Security agents in July while heading to work.


An immigration judge granted her release on a $10,000 bond, but ICE blocked it using a policy aimed at restricting bond for individuals who entered the U.S. without inspection. Her attorneys argue the policy shouldn’t apply to her, given her age at entry and full compliance with immigration proceedings.


MPR News senior reporter Sarah Thamer has been following the story and joined MPR News host Nina Moini with the latest on the case.
