Unnamed in court filings, the Honduran woman challenged the validity of her and her family’s incarceration at a Texas facility by filing a petition for writs of habeas corpus. According to court records, she is also requesting a preliminary injunction that would stop her family from being deported to Honduras right away, while her children beg and pray every night to be released from a holding facility in Texas.
