I am sickened by the news that Paula Hernandez, a UC Berkeley student, was unjustly detained by ICE agents last Friday while traveling domestically through SFO. My office has been in constant contact with Centro Legal de la Raza & UC Berkeley working to support Paula & secure her immediate release.

Congresswoman Simon Demands Immediate Release of Wrongfully Detained UC Berkeley Student

“I am sickened by the news that Paula Hernandez, a UC Berkeley student, was unjustly detained by ICE agents last Friday while traveling domestically through SFO. My office has been in constant contact with Centro Legal de la Raza and UC Berkeley. We are working to support Paula, her family, and to secure her immediate release.

“Paula deserves safety and care. She deserves to return to her family and her community at UC Berkeley. She deserves to continue her academic studies without fear of a rogue federal agency. I join state and local officials in demanding her full release. I will continue to monitor the situation and work towards Paula’s safe return back to California’s 12th District.”
Lateefah Simon U.S. Representative for California's 12th District
