Her murder conviction was overturned. US immigration still wants to deport her

Sandra Castaneda's just one of many immigrants detained by the US for their criminal records - even when the cases were dismissed

Sandra Castaneda spent 19 years in prison for a murder she didn't commit.

But when the California courts overturned her conviction in July 2021, the 40-year-old Los Angeles woman did not walk free. Instead, she was picked up by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agents and taken to a federal detention center where she is now facing deportation to Mexico, a country she left at age nine.
