Pedro Francisco, a 23-year-old Guatemalan immigrant and Indigenous Mayan musician, was unexpectedly released from ICE detention after four months — just days before her scheduled surgery — sparking national outcry and a massive coalition of advocates who fought tirelessly to save her. Now free, she’s preparing to return home to Minnesota, reunite with her family and friends, and face her medical procedure with the strength she’s shown throughout this ordeal. Her attorney, Ruby Powers, praised her dignity and resilience, while Rep. Angie Craig hailed her release as a victory for justice and humanity.
