Congressman Henry Cuellar Meets with Sister Letty in McAllen

· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)

Sister Leticia 'Letty' Ugboaja remains free as her immigration process continues, following a follow-up appointment with immigration authorities nearly a month after she was detained by ICE agents while on her way to Mass. After the review, her attorney reported that the meeting was merely a routine procedure and confirmed that the nun can remain free under the same conditions established after her release. The legal team is also evaluating all available options as the case progresses. As part of the attention this case has generated in the community, Congressman Henry Cuellar will hold a meeting with Sister Letty this Wednesday at Our Lady of Sorrows Church in McAllen. After the meeting, the legislator will be available for media between 4:00 and 4:20 PM, where he is expected to discuss the details of the meeting and the nun's immigration situation. Sister Letty's detention by ICE agents sparked a widespread reaction among religious leaders, community organizations, and elected officials, who have closely followed the development of her case. Meanwhile, the nun continues her service work in the community while awaiting the next steps in her immigration process.
