Two pastors from Edinburg, Cinthia Sarai Cardona Otero and Nepthali Zozaya Saucedo, have been released from ICE custody after being detained at McAllen airport on July 23. The couple, sponsored by their church under a religious visa nine years ago, overstayed their visas that expired in July 2022. A DHS spokesperson confirmed their arrests and stated they will be monitored under Alternatives to Detention, requiring them to report to the Harlingen Field Office in six months. Local Rep. Henry Cuellar has called for ICE to prioritize criminals over detaining religious leaders, expressing concern over the couple's detention.
