A family's faith in the US immigration system has been shaken after a Canadian-born legal permanent resident was taken into Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody and detained for months. The case of Curtis James Wright, a 39-year-old father of three who has lived in the US since childhood, has become a controversial example of how enforcement actions are affecting lawful residents—including the family of a politically conservative mother-in-law who had long supported strict immigration policies.
Wright's detention, now more than 100 days after his arrest at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport, has ignited legal challenges and a deeply personal battle for justice, raising questions about due process and the treatment of individuals who have complied with immigration requirements for decades.
