Judge orders ICE to explain why it  arrested Nashville journalist

A federal judge has given Immigration and Customs Enforcement a deadline of noon Monday to file a written justification for the arrest and continued detention of a Nashville journalist.

Estefany María Rodríguez Florez, whose job with the Spanish-language outlet Nashville Noticias has included critical reporting of ICE activities, was detained Wednesday by ICE agents as she rode in a vehicle marked with the media outlet’s logo. Rodríguez had reported on ICE arrests in Nashville as recently as the day before her own arrest.
