Kentucky State University women's basketball player Aminata Seck has been released after spending two months in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody. A judge granted the Senegalese athlete a $2,500 bond at a hearing Tuesday, securing her freedom.

The development comes as another college basketball player was taken into ICE custody, though details on that case remain limited. Seck's release marks the end of a prolonged detention that began with her arrest by federal immigration authorities.
