Questions grow about why ICE arrested a Texas nun

Questions about why ICE arrested a nun continue to grow after her release from custody.

The Catholic Diocese of Brownsville said that on Sunday, Sister Leticia Ugboaja was detained by agents as she was walking to attend mass at Our Lady of Sorrows Church in McAllen, Texas.

Sister Ugboaja, a Nigerian national, is a registered nurse at South Texas Health System and was a certified nursing assistant at health center in Edinburg, Texas, for 10 years, the Diocese said in a press release. She's part of the Daughters of Mary Mother of Mercy congregation and volunteers as a minister at Our Lady of Sorrows Church.

Sister Ugboaja was released the same day she was detained, according to Rep. Monica De La Cruz, a Republican, who initially posted on Facebook that her office was working with DHS to "resolve Sister Letty's detainment as quickly as possible."

Because ICE is a bunch of racist thugs.
