Judge Orders Release of Georgetown Scholar Detained by ICE

A federal judge has ruled that a Georgetown University scholar, who was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in March, must be released immediately and unconditionally. The case has drawn significant attention due to the scholar's academic standing and the circumstances surrounding the arrest.

Legal experts, including CBS News legal contributor Jessica Levinson, have provided commentary on the legal aspects of the case. The judge's order did not specify the exact reasons for the release, but it effectively ends the scholar's period of detention. The situation raised questions about the criteria used by ICE in determining who to detain and the impact of such actions on academic freedom. The scholar is expected to return to Georgetown University to resume their academic work.
