A Mesa Airlines flight attendant who was erroneously reassured by her airline that she could fly to Mexico was taken into custody on her return to the US and has been held for more than a month at an immigration detention center in Texas, attorney says.
March 22, 2019, 7:21 PM GMTAUSTIN, Texas — A Mesa Airlines flight attendant, who as a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program recipient is barred from traveling outside the United States under the Trump administration's rules, was released from immigration detention Friday after being taken into custody when she returned to the U.S. on a flight from Mexico that she had worked.
Shortly after NBC News reported Saavedra Roman’s detention, news came of her pending release. Her husband, David Watkins, said in a phone call with reporters that Saavedra Roman had contacted him Friday afternoon as news of her detention spread. Saavedra Roman is married to a U.S. citizen and is in the process of applying for legal residency status, but Arroyo said the federal government had threatened to revoke her DACA status while she was in custody.
