"Venezuelan journalist Wilmer Roberto Solano Dávila was released after posting a $5,000 bond, but he came close to being transferred to California despite the fact that a Miami immigration judge had approved his release on bond.
Solano Dávila, 58 [who formerly worked with Venezuelan TV channel Globovision] was released Friday night from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center in Krome, Miami-Dade County, and placed under electronic monitoring.
The journalist, who was detained July 26 while driving near Haulover Beach in Miami Beach, avoided going into detail about his experience in detention but described the conditions at the facility where he was held and warned about the risks faced by those who remain there.
'I can’t go into detail about what happens inside, but I do want to issue a warning. I was in a place where as many as 250 people were housed. It’s a tent that was set up in the yard of the Krome jail. At no point did I see smoke detectors, fire extinguishers or any sprinkler system,' he said."
