After the woman was detained, her husband said he called his attorney. Shortly after, he received a call from St. Peter Chief of Police Matt Grochow, whom he has known for years.
Here’s your answer: She was connected to someone important, the local police chief. If she’d been some random citizen, and didn’t have a high-powered friend, she’d still be in an ICE Concentration Camp, and we wouldn’t have heard a word about it.
Yeah, I get that for sure. It’s totally unlikely this would have been the result without their prior relationship with the Police Chief.
What I’m confused about is how anyone in that chain of interactions knew how to get in touch with those specific ICE/CBP people; as it supposedly was a phone call directly to them which had them turn around and take her to the police station.
So, I’m hypothesizing either the local police had some amount of knowledge of what ICE/CBP people were in the area and contact info for them, or a beneficial enough relationship between the chief or the local LE that contacting someone higher up in ICE/CBP/DSHS resulted in such a quick turn around (or any at all, based on their refusal to cooperate with seemingly every request anywhere else).

Sorry, does that make more sense?
I would imagine that every police chief has the local ICE commander’s cell phone when they are in town, causing trouble.
