A Roman Catholic nun in South Texas is released from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody after being detained while walking to Mass in her religious habit, according to multiple outlets. The incident occurs in McAllen, Texas, near the U.S.-Mexico border, where church officials say the nun was on her way to Our Lady of Sorrows church. Several sources report that ICE officers arrested her while she was walking to church on Sunday and later took her into immigration custody. Diocese officials describe the detention in a statement posted on social media. The nun’s release follows intervention by U.S. House members from South Texas, who contacted federal officials regarding the case. The reports characterize the response as prompting bipartisan congressional backlash, though the sources differ in how they frame the political reaction. After the interventions, ICE releases the nun from custody. The outlets do not provide detailed information in the shared summaries about the specific grounds for the detention beyond her being intercepted while going to church in her habit.
