Salisbury woman detained by ICE days before son's death returns home

A woman whose son passed away just days after she was arrested and detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement earlier this month has returned to her family in Salisbury.

Arlit Maria Martinez-Carrada, 41, was on her way to work on Jan. 3 when she was stopped and detained by ICE on Mt. Hermon Rd. in Wicomico County. A Mexican national, Arlit's husband Rigo told WBOC they had planned to return to Mexico until their son Kevin was diagnosed with cancer, forcing them to remain in the United States while he was treated.
