Teranga Academy graduate, detained since June 4, released on bond

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – A Bowling Green Teranga Academy graduate, detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on June 4, has been released on bond.

Fugees Family CEO Luma Mufleh says Ernesto Manuel-Andres was released on a $1,500 bond on Tuesday, a day after the Department of Homeland Security blocked his release. The bond is the lowest legally allowed.

Manuel-Andres must attend all future court hearings to meet the conditions of the bond.

“What a roller coaster of a day — we posted bond, and either DHS missed the one-business-day deadline or decided not to appeal,” says Mufleh.

WNKY News 40 received an email from ICE Media on June 13 stating the following:

Due to our operational tempo and the increased interest in our agency, we are unable to research and respond to every incident or discuss specifics of routine daily operations.

This is a developing story.
