Amos Yee, a teenage blogger from Singapore, talks to reporters outside of the U.S. immigration field office after being released from federal custody following a U.S. immigration appeals court's decision to uphold his bid for asylum, Tuesday, Sept. 26, 2017, in Chicago. Yee, an atheist, was accused of hurting the religious feelings of Muslims and Christians in Singapore. The teen's online posts mocking and criticizing the city-state's government have twice landed him in a Singapore jail. He left his homeland in December with the intention of seeking U.S. asylum, but was detained in Chicago and remained behind bars during the proceedings. (AP Photo/Kiichiro Sato)
