A Suffolk Community College honors student, who was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, is awaiting deportation in Louisiana.
Sara Lopez Garcia, along with her mother, were arrested in her Mastic apartment in May, according to Garcia's fiancé Santiago Ruiz.
He says Sara has agreed to be deported to Colombia but that ICE agents have yet to release her.
"She needs freedom, we deserve freedom, me, you, everybody. This is a country of freedom, and she is being detained, and she detained from her freedom, that does not make sense," Ruiz says. "If they want us to leave, we will leave. I'm not trying to fight something that is impossible"
Garcia's brother is still on Long Island and just graduated from Ward Melville High School last month.
