Concerns about the welfare of an undocumented Buda woman in Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody is leading her family to advocate for her release.

Buda resident Enrique Rodriguez worries that Janelie Rodriguez, his stepsister, isn’t receiving the proper medical treatment for mental issues she is experiencing, which he believes would be better administered at home.

Enrique, along with Janet Rodriguez, Janelie’s mother, and Ashley Vaca, Janelie’s niece, said she was “pale” and was going through psychological episodes when they visited Janelie at the South Texas Detention Center in Pearsall.
