WASHINGTON, USA – A reporter working for local news outlet Nashville Noticias was arrested by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Nashville without a warrant, an emergency petition filed by her attorneys in federal court said.
Nashville Noticias said on Thursday, March 5, the journalist, Estefany Maria Rodriguez Flores, was taken to an ICE detention center and remained in custody. ICE did not respond to a request for comment.
Rodriguez Flores is from Colombia, has lived in the US for five years, and “frequently reports on stories critical of ICE,” her lawyers said in a court filing in the US District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee.
The media outlet said the reporter was with her husband outside a gym on Wednesday, March 4, when the vehicle they were in, which was marked with the Nashville Noticias logo, was surrounded and she was detained.
US District Judge Eli Richardson directed federal immigration officials to give their preliminary response to the emergency petition by Friday, March 6. Rodriguez Flores had a meeting scheduled for March 17 with ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations, her lawyers said.
ICE has been at the heart of President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown that rights advocates say violates free speech and due process rights.
Human rights groups say it has made the environment unsafe for citizens and immigrants, especially after two separate January fatal shootings of US citizens by federal agents in Minnesota.
Around the country, at least eight people have died in ICE detention centers since the start of 2026, following at least 31 deaths last year.
Trump has said his policies aim to curb illegal immigration and improve domestic security.
Rodriguez Flores arrived in the US on a tourist visa, filed for political asylum, subsequently married a US citizen and has a valid work permit, the filing said. She and her husband have filed for permission to adjust her status to lawful permanent resident, it added. – Rappler.com

The best can be worth more than a touchdown compared to the backup, and here’s a look at some of the notable Power 4 QB depth chart and injury updates heading into Week 4. Garrett Nussmeier LSU Tigers QB Garrett Nussmeier has been slowed by a torso injury, head coach Brian Kelly said. He does not appear to be in any danger of missing Saturday’s game against Southeastern Louisiana, but the Tigers should be able to cruise with or without Nussmeier. After tough games against the Clemson Tigers and Florida Gators already, this could be a great opportunity to limit his workload if LSU builds a big lead. If that happens, look for Mississippi State transfer Michael Van Buren to make his Tigers debut. Austin Simmons Ole Miss Rebels QB Austin Simmons reaggravated his left ankle injury in last weekend’s win over the Arkansas Razorbacks. He originally suffered the injury the previous game and did not start but entered when backup Trinidad Chambliss briefly exited. Head coach Lane Kiffin said he anticipates Simmons will start on Saturday against Tulane. If not, Chambliss is likely in line for his second consecutive start. LaNorris Sellers South Carolina Gamecocks QB LaNorris Sellers is listed as questionable on the SEC Availability Report heading into Saturday’s road matchup against the Missouri Tigers. Head coach Shane Beamer declined to say whether he suffered a concussion last weekend against the Vanderbilt Commodores but said he’s optimistic Sellers…
