## Resource

New Zealand citizen Everlee Wihongi, a US resident for decades, remains in ICE detention after her release hearing was postponed due to technical issues with a Zoom call. Wihongi was detained in April while returning from New Zealand. Her lawyer argues her past marijuana possession conviction, based on faulty legal advice, shouldnt impact her immigration status. The lawyer seeks discretion from ICE for family and legal visits, highlighting broader issues with the US detention system. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
