A nun arrested by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Texas last month speaks publicly for the first time since her detention. Sister Leticia Ugboaja said that on 28 June, while walking to Sunday mass in McAllen, she thought about the day’s Bible readings and carried little more than her rosary and cellphone. She described going into a “cold sweat” when two armed men approached her and that, in the moment, she did not understand what was happening. Ugboaja spoke at a news conference at Our Lady of Sorrows church in McAllen, where she addressed her arrest and custody. The accounts from outlets covering the same event focus on her description of the circumstances of the stop and her reaction at the time. Both reports identify the location as the US-Mexico border city of McAllen and date the arrest to 28 June, noting that she remains in the process of dealing with the immigration case following her transfer into ICE custody.
