学区负责人周二晚间表示，联邦当局正在释放四年级学生伊丽莎白·祖娜，她是明尼阿波利斯郊区哥伦比亚高地多名被移民官员拘留的学生中的首位。
泽娜·斯坦维克在一份声明中称，伊丽莎白和她的母亲于1月6日”在前往学校的路上被美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）拘留”，目前被关押在德克萨斯州南部的迪利移民拘留中心。该拘留中心收容了因涉嫌违反移民法而被联邦拘留的家长和儿童。
斯坦维克表示，由于拘留中心爆发麻疹疫情”可能需要隔离期”，目前尚不清楚她们何时能返回明尼苏达州，她补充道”目前我们尚不清楚伊丽莎白的健康状况”。
但她继续说道：”我们为伊丽莎白的父亲能够再次与女儿和妻子团聚而感到由衷的喜悦。”
哥伦比亚高地正是5岁的利亚姆·科内霍·拉莫斯和他的父亲上月被拘留的城市，这起案件引发了诸多争议。两人已于周日获释并返回家中，就在联邦法官下令ICE释放他们的第二天。
据CBS新闻明尼苏达分部报道，哥伦比亚高地学校在周一因一起出于种族和政治动机的炸弹威胁被迫关闭一天后，已于周二重新开学。
斯坦维克称，虽然利亚姆返回家中让学区居民松了一口气，但这场斗争远未结束。
“利亚姆回到家人身边给了我们一丝希望，但这是苦乐参半的时刻，”她指出，还有另外四名哥伦比亚高地学生仍被关押在迪利拘留中心，伊丽莎白获释后将剩下三名。
斯坦维克还表示，哥伦比亚高地小学数十名学生的家长已被联邦特工拘留。
她指出，尽管许多人希望紧张局势能够缓和，并且ICE在该学区的存在能够减少，但她并未看到任何缓和迹象。
斯坦维克在周一晚间的声明中表示：”我们非常关注伊丽莎白以及其他被不公正关押在拘留中心的学生和家庭。我们要求释放全国各地拘留中心中所有被不公正拘留的儿童和家长。
“我们寻求通过外交和和平的方式解决问题，以结束加强移民执法给我们社区、州和郡带来的恐惧。”
Feds releasing Elizabeth Zuna, 4th-grader who’s from same school district as Liam Ramos, officials say

Federal authorities are releasing fourth-grader Elizabeth Zuna, the first of several students detained by immigration officers in the Minneapolis suburb of Columbia Heights, the school district’s superintendent said late Tuesday.
Elizabeth and her mother were “picked up by ICE on their way to school” on Jan. 6 and were being held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, Zena Stenvik said in a statement. The ICE facility, which houses parents and children taken into federal custody over alleged violations of immigration law, is located in south Texas.
It wasn’t clear when they would return to Minnesota due in part to a measles outbreak at the detention facility that “may require a quarantine period,” Stenvik said, adding that “we do not know the status of Elizabeth’s health at this time.”
But, she went on to say, “We are filled with joy at the anticipation of the family when Elizabeth’s father can once again be reunited with his daughter and wife.”
Columbia Heights is the same city where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father were detained last month in a case that sparked much controversy. Both were released from Dilley and returned home Sunday, a day after a federal judge ordered ICE to free them.
Columbia Heights schools reopened Tuesday following a racially and politically motivated bomb threat that forced them to close for the day on Monday, CBS News Minnesota reported.
While it was a relief for district residents to see Liam return home, Stenvik said the struggle is far from over.
“Having Liam return to his family has provided us with a glimmer of hope, but it is bittersweet,” she said, pointing out that four other Columbia Heights students were still in federal custody at Dilley. Elizabeth’s release would leave three.
Stenvik also said dozens of parents of Columbia Heights elementary schoolers have been taken by federal agents.
She observed that while many people are hoping for de-escalation of tensions and of the ICE presence in the district, she hasn’t seen any.
In her statement late Monday, Stenvik said, “We have been very concerned about (Elizabeth) and our other students and families who are unjustly being held in detention centers. We seek the full release of all children and unjustly detained parents from detention center across our country.
“We seek a diplomatic and peaceful solution to end this terror that the enhanced immigration enforcement is causing in our community, our state and our county.”
