A Texas nun, Sister Leticia Ugboaja, was detained by immigration authorities while en route to Mass, sparking outrage over the U.S. system’s failure to uphold due process—even for those with legal protections. Arrested on June 28, she’s a registered nurse and church leader who now voices the personal toll of detention, including missing Communion. Despite having a protection order preventing deportation to Nigeria—where she could face torture—ICE reportedly planned to send her to a third country under a controversial policy criticized by legal experts. Her case exposes deep flaws in how asylum backlogs are managed and calls into question whether the system truly safeguards those who’ve followed the rules.
