<\/a><\/p>\nValerie Gonzalez @ AP<\/em>: \u2018Sister Letty,’ a Texas nun taken by ICE while walking to Sunday Mass, released<\/a><\/h2>\nA nun was released from immigration custody after she was arrested while walking to Mass in her habit in South Texas.<\/p>\n
Sister Leticia Ugboaja, aka “Sister Letty,” was walking to Our Lady of Sorrows Church in McAllen, just a few miles from the U.S.-Mexico border, on Sunday when she was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.<\/p>\n
The Department of Homeland Security and ICE have not responded to a request for comment since Sunday.<\/p>\n
Parish officials posted a message on social media shortly after the arrest that gained traction in the news and prompted members of Congress, including U.S. Rep. Monica de la Cruz, to intervene on Ugboaja’s behalf.<\/p>\n

New mapping compiled by Brockovich AI Data Center Reporting shows that several proposed and under-construction AI facilities are located directly above, or immediately adjacent to, the Ogallala Aquifer, a groundwater system that underpins much of America’s agricultural production.
