There they started a hunger strike to protest lack of phone access, and connected with other immigrants in the detention center. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, on the outside, NIYA launched a concerted campaign demanding their release. They launched a twitter hashtag campaign called #BringThemHome, and got 34 members of Congress to sign onto a letter to President Obama about their case. <\/p>\n<p>Finally, on Wednesday August 6th, all nine were released on pending asylum requests \u2013 a process that could take years to complete and which results in 98% of cases from Mexico being denied. <\/p>\n<p>Still, their release represents the success of a bold strategy, underscoring the on-going need for real immigration reform. <\/p>\n<p><em>GUEST: Lizbeth Mateo, one of the DREAM 9, and one of the 3 who went into Mexico in late July with the intent of crossing back.
