Angelina Lopez Jimenez and her nine-year-old daughter were supposed to fly to Miami to visit a relative.

Instead, she was detained by ICE agents and sent to an airport holding room, according to the New York Times.

On Friday, TSA agents flagged her name on an upcoming passenger list and informed ICE that Lopez Jimenez was scheduled to fly from Miami on Sunday.

Lopez Jimenez and her daughter were detained by Border Patrol back in 2018, but were released with a notice to attend court for removal proceedings.

Eventually, she stopped showing up for appointments, and her deportation was ordered in 2019.
