The three women arrested during a protest outside the federal Phoenix courthouse Tuesday are out of jail, officials said Wednesday.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio was defending himself in a racial-profiling case Tuesday when dozens of protesters took the streets, resulting in Phoenix police arresting four Phoenix residents who refused to leave an intersection.

Those arrested, Natally Cruz, 24, Leticia Ramirez, 27, and Isela Meraz, 28, and Miguel Guerra, 37, were originally believed to be undocumented immigrants from Mexico who came to the United States with their families, said officials from Puente Arizona, a pro-immigrant group that planned the protest.

Phoenix police turned them over to Maricopa County Sheriff's Office who held them in Fourth Avenue Jail. When they cleared them to be released, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued detainers giving authorities an opportunity to investigate the individuals immigration status.

Cruz, Ramirez and Meraz did not meet the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's criteria, Lori Haley, a Western Region Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman told The Republic. Their immigration status was unclear Wednesday.

Guerra will undergo further screening.
