Penalties were distant against an undocumented woman in the center of the case, which caused indignation due to cooperation between Montgomery and ICE in a local prison.
Then the core officials abandoned the policy of immigrants sought after by ice up to four hours after paying the deposit.
These were penalty allegations, including an incident with the arm of cars from June 3 in Eastern Norriton, in which Andrea Lozano-Alanis, 31, from Norristown, constrained in the prison object of Montgomery.
It was stored there after publishing a deposit worth 77 USD as part of the then policy. This enabled the federal authorities to travel to prison, arrest her and take her to ice custody.
The reasons for rejecting the allegations were not immediately clear.
Supporters said on Tuesday that Lozano-Alanis was released from an ice custody in Central Pennsylvania around 18:30, after they paid her immigration bond of USD 5000 for money collected by GOFundme.
It was kept at the Moshannon Valley Processing Center in Clearfield’s Clearfield Ferrings with a capacity of 1,876 people in Clearfield.
Denisse AgurtoIN Executive director Unids Para Servir Norristown, said that after her release she talked with Lozano-Lanis and described her as a ecstatic and excited that I could soon see my son.
“There are no words to thank everyone,” said Agurto. “She is very grateful for the support she received.”
Lozano-Alanis plans to stay at night in Central Pennsylvania at the Fan House, and then on Wednesday go to the Philadelphia area on Wednesday, said Arguto on Tuesday evening.
Federal immigration proceedings against it will be continued. Migrants released on Bond are generally in a better situation to win their affairs because they have more access to lawyers and supporters from the outside.
“We are celebrating today,” said Jasmine Rivera, executive director of the immigration coalition who worked on the name Lozano-Lanis. “The mother will be connected to the child again; the mother will be free from custody, to which she should never be sent.”
Lozano-Alanis was imprisoned in Montgomery after the incident, in which she allegedly stuck her car into a romantic partner in front of the poison bank.
The allegations against her included a threat to children, because her 6-year-old son was in her car at the time. She was also accused of recklessly exposing another person, reckless and reckless driving and driving without a driving license.
Rivera said that after celebrating the release of Lozano-Alanis from the detention, activists resume the insistence of the leaders of Montgomery to pass the act “welcoming the unit” to support immigrants.
She said that the county “must use the full range of its power to stop working with a dishonest agency that violates the rights of people, ignores the constitution and kidnaps our people.”
A spokesman for the unit did not immediately offer a comment to the question. ICE officials did not answer immediately at the request for comment.
The Council of Commissioners of the County under the leadership of Democrats was resistant to the introduction of such a policy, paying attention to the restrictions of its power and the fears that a formal welcome regulation can give a false sense of security for undocumented immigrants. The Council repeatedly found support for immigrants, including the establishment of a up-to-date office of immigrants.
Last week, Montgomery’s county officially banned their employees to provide information to ICE, telling them to suspend data such as immigration status and a country of origin, unless they are directed to it by their superiors.
“Employees of the County are not substitute federal immigration agents,” in accordance with the policy that was announced at a meeting of Montgomery’s commissioners in Norristown.
Employees of the county, to whom ICE agents can now contact, are now asked to support documents such as a judicial order, and then notify their supervisor who is to contact the advocate of the county. According to policy, the county will require a court order or court call before providing information about any federal person to enforce agents.
Until now, Gofundme for Lozano-Alanis has collected $ 5,200, more than enough to pay an immigration bond, which, according to supporters, was set at $ 5,000.
Three days after Inquirer informed about how it was possessed by the unit after paying the deposit, prison officials in Montgomery abandoned this policy. The procedure enabled federal agents to arrest people who, otherwise, could be released because the county was automatically maintained by people listed in ICE for an additional four hours.
This outraged practice activists who said that the unit had no right to maintain people who met their legal conditions of deposit. They pointed out that the jurisdictions in other places were successfully suffered.
Country officials said they have been considering changing politics for weeks.
Ice detention is a request issued by the agency, usually to prison or police department, to keep someone in the past in which they will normally be released. Legal supporters note that ICE demands are exactly such, demands.
For example, the city of Philadelphia refuses to honor detained ice, unless they are accompanied by a signed court order.
Now the prison of Montgomery will do the same, recognizing only these orders approved and signed by the judge.
