A woman who spent decades helping immigrants navigate the system is now detained by ICE in South

A woman who spent decades helping immigrants navigate the system is now detained by ICE in South Texas. 🚨 And her case shows how real the risk can be. Meenu Batra, 53, lived in the U.S. for 35 years and worked as a court interpreter for Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu. She was arrested at an airport while traveling for work. ⚖️ She had protection from deportation, but not lawful status. Even with that protection, she was handcuffed in public and has been detained since March. She is being held without consistent medical care after a recent surgery, and ICE has not told her attorneys where she may be transferred. 😔 Her legal team filed a habeas petition, arguing her detention is unlawful. Courts are increasingly ordering bond hearings and, in some cases, release. Here’s the reality: if you do not have current lawful immigration status, flying puts you at serious risk. Airports mean direct contact with federal agents, and that can lead to detention. And remember, a pending asylum application does not give you lawful status by itself. ✊ If you need help with an asylum case or getting a loved one out of immigration detention, send “CONSULT” in a direct message.
