Baroness Magdalena von Redwitz Freed After Detention Ordeal
Baroness Magdalena von Redwitz aged 45 was released on a $500 bond from a Terminal Island immigration facility after a 10 day hunger strike protest during detention. She faced illegal entry charges following arrest near Oceanside on a Greyhound bus from Mexico. Bond was posted by Cyril Sherwood who arranged her departure and that of her son Eckenbert 22 to Canada. Sherwood also sought welfare help and jobs for the son as part of the case. The Baroness later flew toward Mexico with plans for Canada pending charges being dropped if she left the United States within 10 days.
