"Her release followed a federal judge's ruling earlier in the day that her arrest was unlawful as she had not had a preliminary bond hearing. In his ruling on Wednesday, US district judge Jeremy Daniel wrote: The government acknowledges that several courts, including this one, have found mandatory detention unlawful. He ordered the government to provide Galeano with a bond hearing by 18 November."
"Following her release, Galeano said in a statement: I am so grateful to everyone who has advocated on my behalf, and on behalf of the countless others who have experienced similar trauma over recent months in the Chicago area I love our community and the children I teach, and I can't wait to see them again. Meanwhile, Galeano's lawyers hailed the court's ruling, saying: The Court has recognized that Diana and scores of others like her should not be in custody indefinitely."
Diana Santillana Galeano, a Chicago daycare worker, was released from an ICE detention center in Clay County, Indiana after a federal judge ruled her arrest unlawful because she had not received a preliminary bond hearing. US District Judge Jeremy Daniel noted that several courts have found mandatory detention unlawful and ordered a bond hearing for Galeano by 18 November. The parties must submit a status report by 20 November 2025 detailing her release status and bond hearing outcome. Galeano expressed gratitude and eagerness to return to the children she teaches. Her lawyers said the ruling prevents indefinite custody for her and others.
