An 86-year-old French woman, Marie-Thérèse, was arrested by ICE and held in a detention center after moving to the US to marry her 1950s sweetheart. Her family fears for her health.
In a heartbreaking turn of events, an 86-year-old French woman named Marie-Thérèse has been detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after moving to the United States to reunite with her 1950s sweetheart. The woman's family, hailing from Brittany, France, are deeply concerned for her health and well-being as she is being held in a crowded detention center in Louisiana.
According to reports, Marie-Thérèse, who had moved to the US to marry her long-lost love, was cuffed by her hands and feet during the arrest, leaving her family shocked and distressed by the way she was treated. One of her sons told the Ouest-France newspaper that ICE had treated his mother like a hardened criminal, rather than the elderly, vulnerable woman that she is.
