Woman spent 20 years in prison for a wrongful conviction, lost her immigration status as a result, and here comes ICE
Congressman Greg Casar
@repcasar.bsky.social
Carmen Mejia was exonerated after spending 20 years in prison for a crime she did not commit.
Now, ICE may pick her up because she lost her immigration status due to that wrongful conviction.
Carmen should not spend one more day wrongfully detained.
