Democracy Now! speaks with longtime immigrant rights activist Jeanette Vizguerra, who was just released Monday from ICE jail after nearly 10 months in a Colorado detention center. Vizguerra was ambushed by ICE agents during her work break in March. A judge ordered her detention was unconstitutional, and she was released on bond Monday. Vizguerra describes her time in detention and says she is "very emotional" and glad to be reunited with her children, and plans to keep fighting for her rights and for others. "Her detention was intentional to try and silence people across the country, not only immigrant leaders, but also citizens," says Jennifer Piper, a supporter and program director for American Friends Service Committee Colorado.
