An 86-year-old French widow who had moved to the U.S. to reunite with a long-lost partner was detained by U.S. immigration authorities and returned to France after being held; family members said she arrived still wearing a stained, torn detention uniform.

These incidents have raised concerns about the treatment of elderly and otherwise vulnerable people and the wider family impacts of immigration policy.
