OMAHA — Two of the workers jailed after a high-profile June 10 immigration raid in Omaha were reunited on Friday with their families following a federal judge’s order that the government was unlawfully detaining the women.
The two workers, both women from Mexico, were released on a $15,000 bond that had been set more than a month ago by an immigration judge.
Yanier Garcia Jimenez and Floribertha Mayo Anicasio had remained jailed in North Platte despite that immigration judge’s order, because the U.S. Department of Homeland Security quickly appealed.
