Meenu Batra, a certified court interpreter and single mother of four, has been released after spending more than six weeks in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody. Batra, who has worked as a court interpreter for over 20 years, said she was living and working legally in the United States when she was detained.

In an exclusive interview with CBS News following her release, Batra expressed concerns about the possibility of being detained again. The circumstances surrounding her initial detention have not been detailed in available reports.

Batra's case highlights ongoing questions about ICE enforcement practices and their impact on individuals with legal status in the United States. As a certified court interpreter with more than two decades of experience, Batra had established professional credentials in the legal system.

The length of Batra's detention—over six weeks—and her subsequent release raise questions about the review processes for individuals held in ICE custody. Immigration attorneys have previously noted that even individuals with legal status can sometimes face prolonged detention due to administrative complications or documentation issues.

Batra's experience as both a legal professional and detainee provides a unique perspective on the immigration enforcement system she had previously served through her work as a court interpreter.
