A 64-year-old Houston woman was detained by immigration officials during a routine check-in. Joyce Basele had been reporting to officials for 14 years without issue. However, on June 18, she was taken into custody at an ICE field office.

Basele has no criminal history. She initially entered the US legally in 2005 as the spouse of a religious worker. Further details about her case and how she ended up in ICE custody are available from the source.

Basele's detention has affected those close to her, who consider her a maternal figure. She had been helping to raise four children over the past decade.
