After a visit from Texas Democratic Congressmember Beto O'Rourke and a flurry of news reports, including on Democracy Now!, the Board of Immigration Appeals has reopened the asylum case of award-winning journalist Emilio Gutii(C)rrez Soto, vacating his deportation order and granting him a full stay of his removal order. This means Gutii(C)rrez cannot be deported, at the moment, and that the BIA will now issue a new ruling. But Gutii(C)rrez has still not been released. We play an excerpt from our exclusive jailhouse interview with Gutii(C)rrez and speak with William McCarren, the executive director of the National Press Club, who visited Gutii(C)rrez in detention and said Gutii(C)rrez broke down crying several times, and Gutii(C)rrez's lawyer, Eduardo Beckett.
