Episode Details

A Nigerian nun, Sister Leticia Ugboaja, was detained by ICE in Texas while walking to church—released hours later, but now speaking out about the need for due process and compassion. Granted protection from deportation due to fear of torture in Nigeria, she’s followed all immigration rules and even has work authorization. Her detention, without clear explanation or legal counsel, underscores systemic flaws and growing fear among immigrant communities, even in places of worship. As a nurse working in healthcare, she’s facing immense stress amid another ICE check-in next week—this case powerfully illustrates how immigration policies disrupt lives and silence the vulnerable.
