FAC joined a broad coalition of organizations condemning the arrest and detention of Estefany Rodriguez, a journalist who covered Immigration and Customs Enforcement for the Spanish-language news outlet Nashville Noticias.
From the statement: “Rodriguez has covered immigration, including ICE actions, for the local Spanish-language news site Nashville Noticias, and has also made critical comments online about the Trump administration. With her arrest, federal authorities have both silenced an important on-the-ground perspective and have sent a chilling message that reporting critical of the administration may face retaliation.”
