In Texas, Meenu Batra, a longtime court interpreter and the only licensed Punjabi, Hindi and Urdu interpreter in the state, has been released from an ICE jail after nearly two months of detention. A judge’s order mandating Batra’s release stated the Trump administration had failed to explain why she’d been jailed in the first place and denied her due process. Batra has lived in the U.S. for over 35 years after leaving India.
