"Rodolphe Sambou, Consul General of France in New Orleans, stated, 'Given her age, we really want her to get out of this situation as soon as possible. We want to get her out of jail.'"
"Sambou mentioned that the French government has 'fully mobilized' to push for Ross' release and has been in frequent communication with her family and officials in Washington, D.C., Atlanta, and Paris."
Marie-Therese Ross, an 86-year-old French widow, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for overstaying her visa. The French government is actively seeking her release from a Louisiana detention facility. Rodolphe Sambou, the Consul General of France, has visited Ross and is coordinating with her family and officials in multiple locations to ensure her well-being. Ross married a U.S. Army veteran, who passed away earlier this year, and her case highlights the impact of strict immigration policies on families of military personnel.
