A local woman from Sunnyvale is seeking the release of her mother, who is being detained by immigration authorities. The mother, 59 years old, had been seeking asylum when she was taken into custody by ICE at a New York airport. She was subsequently transferred to a facility in Louisiana.

Her daughter is now fighting for her release. Further details on this case are available from KTVU FOX 2 News, which has been following the story of the Sunnyvale woman's efforts to secure her mother's freedom.
