Mesa Airlines mistakenly assured her she would be fine, but Saavedra Roman was stopped by U.S. authorities on her return to Houston Feb. 12 and sent to an immigration detention facility, Arroyo said. But soon after her husband, Arroyo, the airline and flight attendants’ association publicly demanded her release, Saavedra Roman called to tell him she was getting out. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said the agency was looking into her status at a Texas detention facility. Earlier, the agency said Saavedra Roman didn’t have a valid document to enter the country and was being detained while going through immigration court proceedings. Citizenship and Immigration Services — the agency tasked with overseeing the program known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA — declined to discuss the case.
