French Widow, 86, Detained by ICE: Government Fights for Her Release
The French government is urgently seeking the release of an 86-year-old French widow detained by U.S. immigration authorities. Learn about the case and the government's efforts to free her.
The French government is pressing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to release the 86-year-old French widow of a military veteran from immigration custody in Louisiana after she was detained earlier this month.
The woman, whose identity has not been publicly released, is a French citizen who was married to an American military veteran. She has reportedly lived in the U.S. for several decades and was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on an unspecified date.
According to French officials, the elderly woman is being held at an ICE facility in Louisiana, where she has limited access to her family and legal counsel. The French government has strongly condemned her detention and is actively working to secure her immediate release.
