Officials at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would not tell CBS exactly how many detainees they released ahead of for Friday’s automatic budget cuts. They also declined to say where or when the releases occurred.

“We started getting calls all of a sudden they had been released,” said immigration advocate Dulce Guerrero. “We were very much in shock.”
The early release of detainees was a surprise to Guerrero.
