Manuel Duran is a journalist from El Salvador that has been reporting on issues directly related to the Latinx community of Memphis for more than 10 years.

The 11th Circuit court postponed deporting our client Manuel Duran to El Salvador, where his life will be in danger. Removal before his case is heard is an affront to the 1st Amendment. We will continue to fight for him & his right to freedom of the press. https://t.co/09uOCERPrZ

I worked with Manuel Duran on a story early this year and saw his arrest at a protest in April. Yesterday I spoke with Duran’s longtime girlfriend about the psychological and financial toll of his time in immigration detention - now 7 months.

The unlawful arrest and unconstitutional detention of Manuel Duran only serve to silence free speech and press, and create more fear and mistrust of law enforcement in immigrant communities. https://t.co/r49Uw6nwgP

Memphis Spanish-language reporter Manuel Duran was turned over to ICE after charges were dropped from an April arrest (he was reporting on a protest). He's been detained for months in La. and faces deportation and danger if sent back to El Salvador https://t.co/Alf2bEs267

It is clear that journalist Manuel Duran Ortega would not be in deportation proceedings today if it weren’t for the fact that he was arrested while doing his job. https://t.co/pbsXCXbobX

"Memphis law enforcement showed no similarly urgent interest in the many other reporters and observers who were in the road snapping photos and capturing video of the protest." https://t.co/YaNTcKDZhe #FreeManuelDuran

"A pesar de haber ganado la suspensión de su deportación, Manuel sigue encarcelado mientras espera su juicio migratorio." https://t.co/X08El3DpbW #FreeManuelDuran

[#FreeManuelDuran @FreeManuelDuran]

"In almost every interaction with law enforcement -- from the local police to federal immigration authorities -- Manuel Duran has had his rights violated and freedoms abrogated." https://t.co/YaNTcKDZhe #FreeManuelDuran

[#FreeManuelDuran @FreeManuelDuran]

We will continue to fight for Manuel’s release from detention while his appeal is pending before the Board of Immigration Appeals.”

“Christina Swatzell, Co-Director of Legal Services and Maximiliano Gluzman, Staff Attorney submission of over 400 pages of evidence in support of Manuel’s release from the Lasalle Detention Facility was denied without explanation.

[#FreeManuelDuran @FreeManuelDuran]

Despite overwhelming evidence to support his return to Memphis, TN and more than 5000 petitioned signatures - ICE arbitrarily denied his release at the expense of Mr. Duran's freedom and federal tax payers.
