Description

Jackie Merlos, a Honduran mother of four, was detained by Border Patrol agents at Peace Arch Park after a family visit, despite her children being U.S. citizens. Denying allegations of smuggling, she spent four months in ICE custody, with her children released after three months. Representative Maxine Dexter intervened, leading to Merlos release in late October.
