A key witness will remain free despite a government appeal. U.S. District Judge Keith P. Ellison made this decision, allowing José Trinidad Rojas Pliego to stay out of custody. This comes after a deadly incident involving ICE agents.

The judge's order was signed on August 3. Further details about the case and the appeal process are available.

The incident in question occurred on July 7, resulting in one death and the detention of several individuals, including Rojas Pliego.
