Judge orders release of #PortlandME teen from #ICE facility after 6 months
PORTLAND (WGME) – "A Portland teen who has been held in a Texas ICE facility for more than six months is reportedly set to be released by Friday.

"She is originally from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and was a first-year nursing student in Portland when she was taken into custody.
"#DHS previously said Andre is in the United States illegally but didn’t explain why the rest of her family was released and she wasn't.
"Pingree called the conditions at the facility inhumane, and Andre's lawyer says her physical and mental wellbeing deteriorated from not having access to clean drinking water, palatable food and appropriate medical care.
