Cliona Ward’s desperate family are fighting to free the 54-year-old single mother who works for a Christian non-profit and single-handedly cares for her severely ill adult son.
‘She is very fragile emotionally,’ her sister Orla Holloday, 52, told Daily Mail.
After speaking with her terrified sibling, she added: ‘She had to get off the phone quickly but her last words were, “Orla, I can't stay here - please help me.”
‘It's gross in there. She can't even drink the water. This is so messed up. We just miss her so much.
'She has traveled abroad multiple times over the years and this has never happened before.'
She believes her sister is a victim of President Donald Trump’s tougher enforcement of immigration policies - which have resulted in increasing round-ups across the country of illegal immigrants in recent weeks.
Her criminal cases reportedly relate to drugs, theft and misdemeanor cases from 2003 to 2008 while in Santa Cruz.
Gee, being a two-time criminal might have something to do with it.
Well, at least it dispels the notion that they're only enforcing the law with "brown people."
