Naqvi, along with two other U.S. citizens and three green card holders, was detained by Customs and Border Protection agents Thursday morning in O’Hare Airport’s third terminal, where they were held for roughly 30 hours, according to Naqvi’s family, her attorney and local officials.

The group was then taken to the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview Friday evening before being transported to the Dodge Detention Facility in Wisconsin, where they were released early Saturday morning, officials said Sunday.

Federal authorities, meanwhile, refused to give Naqvi’s family and supporters information about her whereabouts or even say if she was in their custody, they said. Naqvi’s iPhone location is how supporters kept tabs, Naqvi’s sister, Sarah Afzal, said at a rally Sunday outside of the Broadview ICE facility, 1930 Beach St.
