A French woman, 86, held by ICE after moving to US to reunite with long-lost love
An 86-year-old French woman, Marie Dubois, has been detained by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after relocating to the United States in hopes of reuniting with her long-lost love. Dubois, a retired school teacher from Lyon, arrived in New York City on a tourist visa and intended to seek out her former beau, a WWII veteran she had met in France during the war.
According to ICE officials, Dubois violated the terms of her tourist visa by intending to stay permanently in the country. They have placed her in a detention facility pending an immigration hearing.
Dubois’ family in France has expressed concern over her well-being and is working with legal counsel to navigate the immigration proceedings. They argue that Dubois poses no harm to society and is solely motivated by a desire to spend her remaining years with her loved one.
In response to inquiries, ICE reiterated that they are enforcing immigration laws and regulations but have assured that Dubois will receive a fair hearing.
The case has garnered attention in both the U.S. and France, with many sympathizing with Dubois’ situation and calling for compassion in her unique circumstances.
