Detained Minnesota anti-ICE protesters freed after judge finds detention unwarranted

TL;DR Summary
Nekima Levy Armstrong and Chauntyll Allen, joined by a third activist William Kelly, were released from detention after a federal judge ruled there was no sufficient reason to keep them in custody for the anti-ICE church protest in St. Paul. The case also highlighted the White House’s circulation of a digitally altered image of Armstrong’s arrest, which was later exposed, illustrating misinformation surrounding the protest.
