ICE frees its "Dreamer" stewardess for six weeks after the flight to Mexico.

"I am grateful and grateful to the amazing people who came to fight for me and it fills my heart. Thank you to everyone who supported. I am so happy to find my freedom. "

The story of Saavedra, a Texas A & M graduate and former kindergarten teacher, quickly took a viral turn as the Flight Attendant Association (CWA) took care of her case and began to lobby to obtain his release. "We are deeply sorry that Selene and her husband had to endure this situation. It is clearly unfair that someone is detained for six weeks for something that is nothing other than an administrative error and misunderstanding, "said Jonathan Ornstein, chairman and chief executive officer. General of Mesa. Hillary Clinton took over Friday and called his Twitter followers sign a petition demanding the release of Saavedra.
