Caption: Figure 2.

Stokes IQU and linear polarization intensity ﹩{P}_{L}=\sqrt{{Q}^{2}+{U}^{2}}﹩ of GRB 260310A at 19.2 days. The images reveal a strong polarized point source that fades at lower frequencies. Additionally, the QU images reveal a frequency-dependent rotation in the polarization angle.
