A Texas flight attendant and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipient was freed from Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody on Friday after being held for weeks for leaving the country as part of her job.

The flight attendant, 28-year-old Selene Saavedra Roman, came to the U.S. from Peru as a toddler. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and is legally allowed to remain in the country and work under the protection of the DACA program. She flew to Mexico and back in February for her job at the behest of Mesa Airlines, her employer of about a month, which assured her that her DACA status would not be a problem upon reentry. Afraid of losing her new job, she decided to trust her supervisors.

But when Saavedra attempted to reenter the U.S. on Feb. 12, authorities detained her. She remained in an ICE facility in Conroe, Texas, without any clear timeline on her case until The Points Guy and a swarm of public figures highlighted her case as a symbol of the Trump administration’s troubling immigration policy.

Authorities granted Saavedra parole to return to her College Station, Texas, home on Friday afternoon, her lawyer and husband announced.

“She called me saying, ‘Please just come get me.’ I felt immediately overjoyed,” her husband, David Watkins, said at a news conference.

Earlier that day, he told HuffPost he was prepared for a lengthy battle even though his whole life could be upended. When his wife called him last month to let him know what was happening, “I dropped the phone and I screamed into the sky, because I knew this was going to be long and wasn’t going to be an easy path whatsoever.”

Following a cue from the Association of Flight Attendants, the union Saavedra is a member of, Mesa Airlines called on Friday for her release. Previously, the company had told her she would be able to reenter the U.S. after the round trip flight from Houston to Mexico because of her DACA status.
