Days earlier Go was arrested by ICE. The move ignited fury across faith communities, civil rights groups, and Korean American advocacy organizations.
Go's attorney insisted her visa is active and valid through the end of this year, while the Department of Homeland Security says it expired more than two years ago.
Rev. Kim noted how so many other detainees are not as fortunate as her daughter.
'It's not [just] Soo in this situation,' Rev. Kim said. 'There are more, maybe, those in need of support.
Mary Rothwell Davis, attorney for the Episcopal Diocese of New York, told
13News Go was released to her mother on her own recognizance, but did not know any other terms of the release.
Rothwell Davis also said Go was given a hearing date for her visa status in late August.
[At least We The People paid to have her snatched off the streets and flown around the country all to no purpose.]
Korean American community leaders say the episode is part of a disturbing trend of rising enforcement actions targeting Korean nationals regardless of their legal status.
Go's case echoes the recent detention of Tae Heung Will Kim, a Korean green card holder and Texas resident who was taken into custody at San Francisco International Airport last month.
Kim, a Ph.D. student, was held at the airport for more than a week before being transferred to an ICE facility in Arizona.
His family has not received information about his condition or location.
