Chicago daycare worker freed after judge rules ICE arrest unlawful

Diana Santillana Galeano’s detention sparked outrage after agents dragged her from a daycare

A Chicago daycare worker whose arrest by federal agents last week sparked widespread outrage has been released from custody.

On Thursday, Diana Santillana Galeano’s attorney said she was released from an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center in Clay county, Indiana, on Wednesday night. Her release followed a federal judge’s ruling earlier in the day that her arrest was “unlawful” as she had not had a preliminary bond hearing.
