Something seems to be missing here...

After the officers put her in their car and drove toward the Twin Cities, they themselves received a call, the woman said, and quickly turned back.

How did the call to the police chief result in these people receiving a call...? This is seemingly stated as a determining factor in them turning around and taking her to the police station. But.. how did this happen like that without some type of cooperation between local police and the feds?

Knowing what individuals were working in the area, where they were, what type of vehicles they were using (another article stated the police chief, on the call with the husband, described the vehicle the woman was taken away in to confirm it with the husband), and how this all resulted in a supposed phone call/the woman being taken to the police and turned over to them.

A personal relationship with the police chief is one thing, but the rest I can't make out at this point.

After the woman was detained, her husband said he called his attorney. Shortly after, he received a call from St. Peter Chief of Police Matt Grochow, whom he has known for years.

Here's your answer: She was connected to someone important, the local police chief. If she'd been some random citizen, and didn't have a high-powered friend, she'd still be in an ICE Concentration Camp, and we wouldn't have heard a word about it.
