Supporters of Yaakub Ira Vijandre, a Filipino DACA recipient in Arlington, rallied for his release from ICE detention. Vijandre, who arrived in the U.S. as a teenager, was detained last October due to social media posts criticizing injustices in War on Terror cases. His lawyers argue these posts are protected free speech. At a recent city council meeting, supporters highlighted Vijandres work as a community organizer and photographer, and the harsh conditions hes facing in detention. They urged the council to voice support for his constitutional rights, emphasizing the impact of his case on Arlingtons values as the American Dream City. Mayor Jim Ross met with the group afterward, expressing concern and promising to delve deeper into the case.
