A Mesa Airlines flight attendant who was erroneously reassured by her airline that she could fly to Mexico was taken into custody on her return to the US and has been held for more than a month at an immigration detention center in Texas, attorney says.
Saavedra Roman had told the airlines when she was hired about her DACA status, Arroyo said. When she was assigned the Mexico flight, she exchanged several emails with her employer questioning whether she could work the flight because of her status, her attorney added.
David Watkins, Saavedra Roman’s husband, said Saavedra Roman had put Mexico and Canada on her “no fly” list “very intentionally” when she was hired by Mesa Airlines. The flight attendants association launched a petition with MoveOn.org. It calls on Department of Homeland Security and ICE to drop all charges and release Saavedra Roman. It had more than 6,000 signatures of 7,500 the group is attempting to get.
Watkins said he and his wife usually speak by phone in the morning and at night each day. He is allowed to see her for one hour, once a week “through two-inches of glass. No contact allowed.”
