May 8, 2026·Location: Flower Mound, TX
Country of origin: Mexico

Lourdes Coronado, a North Texas resident who had lived in the United States for more than 30 years, was arrested after a traffic stop in Flower Mound for driving with a suspended license and no registration, and was subsequently detained by ICE. Her daughter, Karen Gonzalez, said Coronado had just been approved for a work permit and had no criminal history when she was detained. An immigration judge denied her bond request in July, classifying her as a flight risk, and on September 8 ordered her removed to Mexico; she has until October 2 to appeal while her family works to find and pay for an attorney.
