“… “My colleagues and I are relieved and grateful to share that, after eleven days of uncertainty, our students and their mother are returning home,” [School Superintendent] Gaffney said in a statement.

… In initial statements about the detention of the family, a CBP spokesperson indicated the family was in the process of deportation. But amid the backlash, Homan told a local news channel last week that the family was merely being questioned for their own safety, due to the nature of the allegations against the man targeted in the raid.

… On Saturday, as many as 1,000 people attended a rally in Sackets Harbor, demanding the return of the family and marching past Homan’s house, according to local news reports.

It was that pressure that ensured the family’s return, according to Murad Awawdeh, president of the New York Immigration Coalition….”
