Kremly Marrero and his partner Wendy Brito live on the Westbank with their three children.
Brito is a volunteer at McDonogh 26 Elementary, a full-time mom, and an immigrant from El Salvador.
“She came for a better life,” Kremly Marrero said. “She came to get away from vicious people.”
Marrero says Brito went to her routine ICE check-in but never came home.

About this stay-at-home mom in ICE jail in Louisiana?
We reached out to ICE to inquire about Ms. Brito’s arrest and others like hers.
They responded, “Because of our operational tempo with routine, daily law enforcement operations, and increased interest in all our mission sets, we aren’t able to research and confirm or deny many specific cases.”[/blockquote]
