Mexican journalist Emilio Gutii(C)rrez Soto and his son Oscar have been released from ICE detention after being jailed for seven months. Gutii(C)rrez first sought asylum in the United States in 2008 after receiving death threats for reporting on alleged corruption in the Mexican military. He was detained in December, only weeks after he criticized U.S. asylum policy during a speech at the National Press Club. A federal judge has questioned whether the Trump administration's detention of Emilio Gutii(C)rrez Soto and his son Oscar violated his First Amendment rights. We speak with Emilio Gutii(C)rrez Soto in El Paso, Texas, shortly after his release.
