A nun in South Texas is released from immigration custody after being detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) while walking to church dressed in her religious habit, according to multiple reports citing the Associated Press. The incident occurs in McAllen, Texas. The nun is arrested while traveling to Mass, wearing her habit, and is taken into immigration custody. Diocese officials say the detention triggers concern among church leaders and prompts intervention. The Independent reports that members of Congress become involved and that the nun is later released. Stuff.co.nz similarly reports that the nun is released after ICE intercepted her as she walked to church for Mass. The reports do not provide additional details on the reasons for the detention, the duration of custody, or any specific charges, focusing instead on the sequence of events: the interception while on the way to religious services, detention by ICE, and subsequent release after outreach by federal lawmakers.
