BLOCK CLUB CHICAGO, MINA BLOOM — For two weeks, 13-year-old Jasmin couldn’t sleep at night.
The teenager has been up worrying about her father, who was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents earlier this month.
But Thursday, Jasmin’s father came home and she was able to sleep soundly — with her father lying next to her, her mom said.
Jasmin’s father was released from immigration detention Thursday, thanks in part to neighbors who donated thousands to pay his bail and raised awareness about his arrest. Block Club is not naming the man because he is undocumented.
