POMPANO BEACH, Fla. \u2014 After weeks in ice custody that included shifting locations, Venezuelan Claudia Caglionone is a free woman.<\/p>\n
\u201cI leave my heart in there with all the women who are unjustly held inside,\u201d she said in Spanish. <\/p>\n
Monday\u2019s release from an U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Pompano Beach comes amid a public outcry and protests from Caglionone\u2019s own family and friends just last week.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s when Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz toured the facility and highlighted Caglionone\u2019s case, among others.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am very concerned that there are 671 people in this facility that shouldn\u2019t be here,\u201d said Wasserman Schultz. <\/p>\n
Caglionone, who graduated from St. Thomas University with a master\u2019s degree in business administration, was detained early last month while at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.<\/p>\n
It was in 2017 when the 28-year-old first arrived to the United States from Venezuela on a tourist visa. She applied for asylum several months later, and with that asylum case pending, Caglionone was granted Temporary Protected Status in 2023, but that protection ended last year.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe just want to get her home, give her a chance to kind of breathe and just be back home with us to recover for a bit,\u201d said Ruth Lares Caglionone, Claudia\u2019s cousin. \u201cI\u2019m just so happy and again so thankful that all of you were very supportive about this.\u201d<\/p>\n
