A Hopkins man detained by ICE last week has been released.
Bryam Escobar Martinez was arrested by ICE agents on Jan. 5 on his way to work and taken into custody.
According to his attorney, Escobar Martinez came to the U.S. from El Salvador in 2017 without legal status — but is married to a U.S. citizen since 2022, has two citizen children and no criminal record.
This weekend, a federal court judge granted his petition for release.
Escobar Martinez's attorney, Jennifer Oltarsh, says he's now home with his family.
