Just hours before a big rally to call for her release, a federal judge has ordered that Kim Davis be released from jail.
Judge David L. Bunning also ordered Davis not to interfere when her deputy clerks issue marriage licenses.
Bunning, who held Davis in contempt and ordered her in custody, said he was satisfied that the Rowan County Clerk's Office is now complying with a Supreme Court decision that made gay marriage legal in all the United States.
As we reported, a deputy clerk has been issuing marriage licenses to both opposite sex and same-sex couples since Davis was sent to jail.
