## Summary

Maria Flores Garcia, a 19-year-old University of Maryland student, and her mother Mirna, 48, were detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement after attending a scheduled check-in in Baltimore on 6 November. The case has drawn concern from local officials because the family says the pair were complying with the required appointment, and Maria chose to stay with her mother when given the option to leave.

Maria’s boyfriend, Cesar Saavedra, said the two were moved from Baltimore through detention facilities in Virginia and are now in Louisiana. Maria graduated with honours from Parkdale High School and hopes to become a doctor. Prince George’s County Executive Aisha Braveboy called for her release, while Saavedra set up a fundraiser to help the family with legal costs and communication.
