· KRGV (NBC 5)
Sister Letty, a nun from the Rio Grande Valley, addressed the media after her detainment by ICE in June. During a press conference at Our Lady of Sorrows Church in McAllen, her attorney revealed that she is facing a final removal order after her asylum request was denied. However, she has been granted protection from deportation to Nigeria under the U.N. Convention Against Torture. Sister Letty must report to ICE next week, where she may be required to wear an ankle monitor. Her supporters hope her long-standing service to the community will influence immigration officials' decisions.
