The article notes that despite a 2024 arrest and a subsequent warrant for failing to appear in court, Rodriguez-Hernandez was booked and released by Hennepin County officials in November on a $100 bail.Criticism of Local Officials: The administration argues that "sanctuary" policies in Hennepin County prevented local officials from notifying ICE of the suspect's custody.
