Cliona Ward, a 54-year-old Irish resident of Santa Cruz with a green card, was detained by immigration authorities following a trip to Ireland. Her family has expressed deep concern as she remains in legal limbo without a court hearing date over a month after her detention, largely due to revelations from new legal representation. Ward is currently held in harsh conditions at a detention center in Tacoma, Washington, experiencing poor living conditions and limited communication with her family, who fear for her well-being during this uncertain time.
Wardâs sister, Orla Holladay, shared that Cliona frequently describes unlivable conditions in detention, saying the water is undrinkable and the food is awful. Many women around her are in a similar state of panic.
After seeking legal counsel, the family discovered that Ward's situation may take months before a hearing is scheduled, complicating their initial belief of a possible May 7 date.
