Judge Zsa Zsa Depaolo said Perla Morales Luna, 36, was not a danger to society or a flight risk and should be released to her family. Video shows the mother of three being pulled away from her anguished daughters — who are U.S. citizens — earlier this month by Border Patrol agents. The government said Morales Luna was involved in human trafficking, which she has denied. Her oldest daughter, 17-year-old Yessica Estrada, wiped tears from her eyes when the judge announced her mother would be released. She said she and her sisters felt angry and confused after seeing Border Patrol agents whisk their mother away and leave them on the street.
