Amy Gottlieb said she will "go proudly ... to what I'm sure will be a fascinating experience at the State of the Union address," according to The Associated Press.
Ragbir was arrested during a routine check-in meeting with Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) in New York earlier this month.
Eighteen people were arrested, including two New York City councilmembers, at a raucous demonstration outside the Javits Federal Building after Ragbir was detained.
Velazquez and Gottlieb, who is an immigrant rights lawyer, also rallied outside of the ICE offices in New York on Saturday, along with Democratic Reps. Carolyn Maloney

The State of the Union comes as Congress works with the White House to reach to protect recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Trump said last September that he would end the Obama-era program, but gave Congress time to come up with a solution for young immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children.
Congress has been at an impasse over how to protect DACA program recipients, who are often called "Dreamers."
The disagreement boiled over earlier this month when Republicans and Democrats were unable to compromise on a bill to fund the government, resulting in a government shutdown.
In a one-page immigration framework released last week, Trump calls for granting a pathway to citizenship for nearly 2 million Dreamers in exchange for tens of billions of dollars for his border wall and other policies that would dramatically restrict legal immigration.
