Cliona Ward Released by ICE
(17 days in custody)

News May 08, 2025 by Ray O'Hanlon

Cliona Ward, an Irish woman who has been legally resident in the U.S. for 30 years but who was recently detained by U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement, has been released.

The release followed a May 7 hearing in Tacoma, Washington where Ward, 54, was being held.

Last month she was detained by federal authorities at San Francisco International Airport after returning from Ireland where she had visited her father, who is in ill health.



Ward's imprisonment prompted considerable interest in California news outlets, not least due to the fact that she was a legal resident in the U.S.


"Unfortunately, the current Trump administration is unreasonably detaining and deporting foreign nationals from the United States for insufficient reasons or to deprive them of the right to freedom of speech in other cases."

doing something in California to show Californian's who is really in charge.......and to put the citizens of America on notice, that even legitimate/legal residents are not beyond the Trump CABAL's reach of corrupted power.....

How do you spell the word Guillotine ?

We know that all the Trumphumpers in Trump's CABAL never had any biology or science in school after watching them during Covid.
I honestly doubt they know anything much about History either,...... Especially what happened in France centuries ago????

Not as widely reported but the US has set up a previously non-existent border stop just this side of the Canadian border, obviously looking for undocumented people trying to escape into Canada.
