Episode Details

A nun, Sister Leticia Ugboaja, was detained by immigration officials while walking to church in McAllen, Texas—wearing her habit and on a Sunday near the border. Details on why she was picked up remain unclear, but the church’s social media outcry sparked national attention. Local Congresswoman Monica de la Cruz and other South Texas representatives intervened, pressuring federal officials—and by Monday, Sister Leticia was home. A registered nurse and longtime community servant with the Daughters of Mary Mother of Mercy, her case highlights the human cost of immigration enforcement, especially in sacred spaces.
