U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement released Somali community leader and activist Omar Jamal from detention earlier this week.
Omar, 52, was held in Freeborn County Jail for the last month.
Omar has been a public face of the Somali community since the early 2000s, always ready with a quote for local media outlets.
He was held in Freeborn County Jail until Sept. 29.
At times, Omar sometimes latched on to divisive issues that caused controversy in the local Somali community.
