Another 54 -year -old CLIONA Ward holder, who lived in Santa Cruz, California, since he was 12 years old, was held at San Francisco International Airport on April 21, when he returned from a seven -day trip to Dublin. Ms Ward had two felony convictions in 2007 and 2008 related to drug possession from a short period of addiction, according to her sister Orla Holladay.
According to Mrs Holladay, these convictions have been eliminated – which means that the conviction will be virtually removed from the criminal record – after Mrs Ward completed a rehabilitation program and has maintained her soberness for almost 20 years. Her sister described her as a taxpayer in the country legally and is part of the community.
Erin Hall, Ms Ward’s lawyer, said that US immigration and customs enforcement, which handles such cases, has not provided any criminal record. The organization refused to comment.
Ms. Ward is in custody for a week and no date is set to listen to her case.
