Analysis Summary:
The article appears mostly accurate, with the core claim of Carol's release supported by Verification Source #4.

Some details, like the spelling of the name and specific details of the rally, are not covered by the provided sources.
Detailed Analysis:
- Claim:** "Ming Li Hui’s detention by the immigration authorities brought the reality of President Trump’s immigration crackdown to rural Missouri..."
