Claudio Rojas, an outspoken immigration rights activist, was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement last week, days before a new documentary on his work was set to show at the Miami International Film Festival.

In this March 2015 file photo, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents enter an apartment complex looking for a specific undocumented immigrant convicted of a felony during an early morning operation in Dallas.

ICE officials didn’t immediately return messages about Rojas on Sunday. Records from the agency confirm that as of Sunday night, he was being held at the Krome Service Processing Center, a jail in southwest Miami-Dade County on the edge of the Everglades. Rojas was “kind of a natural organizer,” as described on a 2013 episode of NPR’s “This American Life" about his work. So he started talking to dozens of other detainees and collecting information about others who also had no criminal record and who, he believed, should be released under the Obama policy.

They relayed that information to advocates on the outside, who worked to verify the information. If the details checked out on a sympathetic case, the alliance mounted a public campaign for the inmate’s release. And back on the inside, Saavedra and Martinez — the two plants — were arming inmates with the contact information of advocates, giving them the ability to make their own cases to the outside world.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that the film has nothing to do with his detention, and *everything* to do with him being an illegal alien.

Illegal aliens and ISIS. The next 9/11.
