Selene Saavedra Roman pictured last fall. In February, the flight attendant and DACA recipient was detained after working a flight to Mexico.

But on Feb. 12, customs officials detained Saavedra Roman shortly after she landed in Houston on her return flight. She would remain in custody for another six weeks.
Saavedra Roman is married to an American citizen, a man she met while they were both in college at Texas A&M. She graduated in 2014, and the couple has been working to get her permanent residency.After her arrest, officials tried to revoke her DACA status, Arroyo said.

The weeks that followed, Watkins said, were the hardest of their lives. In custody, Saavedra Roman struggled with anxiety and depression, he said.
