New Zealand citizen Everlee Wihongi is released from immigration detention in the United States after about two months in ICE custody, according to multiple reports. The detention began after she re-entered the US on April 10 and was taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Family members describe the release as a significant relief, while also raising concerns about her situation following release. One report says her mother and family say Wihongi is left without key documents, including her passport, Green Card and driver’s licence. Another account confirms her release from ICE custody but focuses on the news that she is no longer in detention. The articles present the same basic timeline: entry on April 10, detention by ICE for roughly two months, and subsequent release. They do not provide additional details on the reasons for her detention or the specific process through which she is released.
