'I miss my work and I miss being able to help my community,' Manuel Duran said.
A journalist who has been locked behind bars by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency for a year after being arrested while covering a protest against ICE and in honor of Martin Luther King Jr., has launched a petition in federal court arguing that his year-long detention is in violation of the U.S. Constitution.
A year ago, on April 3, 2018, Duran was out doing the work he loved: covering a protest that saw residents rail against ICE. He was arrested by local authorities and charged with disorderly conduct for obstructing a highway during the protest. A day after Duran's arrest, ICE spokesperson Bryan D. Cox told Newsweek that the agency had lodged an immigration detainer against Duran, whose full name is Manuel Duran-Ortega, over his being an"unlawfully present El Salvadoran national."
According to the SPLC, a federal appeals court recently sent Duran’s case back to the Board of Immigration Appeals asking for a thorough look at the evidence of how journalists like Duran might face persecution in his home country, El Salvador.
