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.

    That’s the late husband’s decision. Just because they were expecting to get all of it doesn’t mean they are legally or morally entitled to it. What they could have done is talk to their dad.

    Also not sure how it’s in the US, but here the spouse and the children each are legally entitled to half of the inheritance.
