Activist Jeanette Vizguerra Freed on $5,000 Bond After Nine Months in ICE Detention

A judge’s ruling followed a court-ordered hearing that found she was neither a danger nor a flight risk.

Overview

  • Vizguerra was released Monday afternoon from the Aurora detention center after her family and the Immigrant Freedom Fund posted bond.
  • Immigration Judge Brea Burgie granted bond without electronic monitoring after taking the weekend to review arguments.
  • U.S. District Judge Nina Y. Wang ordered the bond hearing as part of ongoing federal review of her detention.
  • ICE alleges she entered the U.S. illegally and used a fraudulent Social Security number and cited a 2009 traffic-related conviction, while the order emphasized her long residence, family ties, and compliance.
  • Her release does not resolve the underlying removal case, and reports note DHS could still pursue deportation or seek further legal action.
