An 86-year-old French woman who moved to the US last year after rekindling a 1960s romance is being detained at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) centre in the state of Louisiana.

The son of Marie-Thérèse, from the city of Nantes, sounded the alarm after his mother was arrested in Anniston, Alabama, earlier in April.

“They handcuffed her hands and feet like she was a dangerous criminal,” he told French outlet Ouest-France.

    If the French embassy does not manage to resolve this, given her age, sadly I think ICE will detain her to death.

    Whoever snitched (it’s obvious from the article) should experience big setbacks in life.
