The sister of an Irish woman detained by American immigration services has described the situation as “scary, messy, and exhausting” as the Government works behind the scenes to set her free.
Cliona Ward, the 54-year-old California resident who was arrested by US immigration and customs enforcement officers on April 21 after returning from a trip to Ireland to see her ill father, is currently being held in a detention centre in Tacoma, Washington.
