France's Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot says the 85-year-old French widow of an American military veteran has returned home from U.S. immigration custody.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained Marie-Thérèse Ross in Alabama on April 1 for overstaying her visa.
Barrot announced her return to France on Friday, expressing satisfaction.
He criticized some ICE methods as not aligning with French standards.
Ross was held in Louisiana and was among those targeted by the Trump administration’s mass deportation agenda.
She married Alabama resident William Ross last year and he died in January.
