On Thursday night, just after nine o’clock, I received three text messages in three minutes. “He’s out,” an immigration attorney wrote. “ISAAC IS OUT,” a second lawyer exclaimed. Then came the last from his partner Fabiola, “Isaac ya esta en libertad,” she wrote in Spanish. Isaac is free. After more than 100 days in detention, Isaac Molina, a 27-year-old Nicaraguan doctor and asylum seeker, had been released from an immigration detention center in Georgia run by the private prison giant CoreCivic. Molina’s story of attempting to enter the United States began in August, when he and his family had fled Managua after he was shot by police loyal to Nicaragua’s authoritarian president Daniel Ortega.
