Meenu Batra, a longtime Texas court interpreter who was detained on immigration charges in March was released from ICE custody today. Her attorney told @ABC that DHS granted Batra parole two hours before a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order, mandating her immediate release.  In his order, Judge Rolando Olvera found, in part, that the government failed to explain why Batra was being detained for the first time in 25 years.
