NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A local reporter from Nashville Noticias remains in federal custody Thursday morning after a payment glitch delayed her release.
Estefany Rodriguez's family plans to pay her $10,000 bond in person Thursday and bring her home. They ran into issues with the electronic payment system on Wednesday.
Now, they will travel to Memphis to hand-deliver the money. Then, they will drive to Louisiana to pick her up. They hope to bring the Nashville Noticias reporter back home Thursday afternoon.
Her attorneys are pursuing a federal case against ICE. They claim the agency violated her constitutional rights.
A judge is waiting for confirmation of her release before moving forward.
