An 86-year-old French woman has been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after moving to the United States to reunite with a long-lost love. The woman, identified as Marie Lambert, arrived in the country on a 90-day visa waiver program in February to meet with her partner, a 93-year-old man she had been in contact with for the past 70 years.
According to ICE officials, Lambert violated the terms of her visa waiver by intending to stay in the U.S. with her partner, prompting her arrest. Lambert’s family and supporters argue that she poses no threat to national security and is being unjustly held in a detention center in California.
Lambert’s lawyer has filed a petition for her release, citing her age and fragile health condition. The case has gained attention on social media, with many calling for Lambert to be released on humanitarian grounds.
ICE has not provided further details about the case, stating that it is an ongoing investigation. Lambert’s partner, who wishes to remain anonymous, expressed deep sadness over the situation, emphasizing that their reunion was meant to bring them joy in their final years.
The detention of the elderly woman has sparked a debate about ICE’s enforcement actions and the treatment of vulnerable individuals in immigration processes. The case remains unresolved as legal proceedings continue.
