1 day ago
The French government is urging the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to release an 86-year-old French woman who has been held in immigration custody after being detained earlier this month.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers detained Marie Thérèse Ross in Alabama on April 1 after authorities say she overstayed her 90-day visa.
She is currently being held at a federal immigration detention facility in Louisiana.
French officials have raised concerns about the case and are pressing for her release as diplomatic discussions continue with U.S. authorities.
