Rockford, Illinois - On Wednesday, Jesus Vargas, an immigration rights activist in Chicago announced that Julio Cesar, who was arrested during a traffic violation by police and then reported to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been released in Texas. Cesar was freed around 4:30 p.m. and was taken to a nearby Greyhound bus station for his returned trip to Rockford.
Vargas wrote through an e-mail, that Attorney Juan M. Solis had secured Cesar's released. Solis has been instrumental in getting other undocumented detainees released, according to Vargas.
Last week, Cesar had been transferred to Texas by ICE due to lack of space at detention centers in Chicago or in the Midwest.
ICE has yet to comment about overcrowding and alleged over capacity at detention centers at Dodge County in Wisconsin and the Midwest.
