ICE decides not to detain Jose Antonio Vargas
Jose Antonio Vargas, the writer and activist who went public last year with his status as an undocumented immigrant, was arrested for a driving infraction in Minnesota on Friday, but federal immigration authorities elected not to detain him, officials said Saturday.
Vargas, a former Washington Post reporter who revealed his status in the New York Times Magazine and touched off a debate in the journalistic community, was initially pulled over by a state trooper for driving while wearing head phones, Lt. Eric Roeske, public information officer for the Minnesota State Patrol, told POLITICO.
