Marie-Thérèse

Marie-Thérèse, an 86-year-old woman from Nantes, France, is currently being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Louisiana. She moved to the United States last year to marry Billy, an American man she had met in Brittany in the 1950s. The couple rekindled their romance after many years and married. Marie-Thérèse's arrest occurred in Anniston, Alabama, earlier in April. The reason for her detention appears to stem from not having a permanent visa at the time of her husband's death and being involved in an inheritance dispute. Her son has expressed concern over her treatment, stating she was handcuffed. The case highlights the complexities of immigration enforcement and raises questions about the treatment of elderly individuals within the system.
