A Ukrainian woman was sent to a Louisiana detention center. Then everything changed at the border.
U.S. border officials use Title 42, a pandemic border policy, in ways that allow some to seek asylum while keeping others out.
“All these women cops were coming up to us and saying we just committed a felony, we’re going to prison — ‘This is going to be a permanent record. You guys are in so much trouble. We’re towing your car away,’” Constantine recalled. “Finally out of nowhere, like three hours later, two cops came over and gave us our passports and said we’re free to go.”
Ukrainain Kateryna and boyfriend Nikolas Constantine described her ordeal trying to request protection in the United States, which included a brief stay in a Louisiana immigration detention center. “You don’t know what’s going to happen next,” she said. After two weeks in the port of entry holding cell, Kateryna was transferred — handcuffed on a several-hour flight — to a long-term detention facility in Louisiana in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. She met dozens of other Ukrainian and Russian women there.
