A Tucson woman detained last week by federal immigration officers — despite her legal status — has been released on bond.
Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva had called for Karla Toledo’s release, noting she’s protected by a federal program for undocumented people brought to the U.S. as children.
Grijalva told KVOA News 4 Tucson that questions remain about why Toledo was arrested in the first place.
“What happened? Why did they enter her home without a warrant? All of those are things that we need to understand because I don’t want people that are here legally in this country to be afraid to go out of their homes,” Grijalva said.
In a statement, Grijalva noted Toledo was brought to the U.S. as a 1-year-old and has no criminal history.
