DFA confirms ex-PCSO GM Garma detained in US facility

The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) confirmed that former PCSO general manager Royina Garma is still detained in a US immigration facility.

Garma was issued an expedited removal order upon her arrival in San Francisco late last year.

A DFA official stated that Garma is currently at the South Louisiana Immigration and Customs Enforcement Processing Center.

US regulations prohibit detainees from receiving calls, which is why contact has been difficult.

The Philippine consulate has attempted to reach out to US authorities on Garma's behalf and provided its contact information.

While assurances were given that Garma received the consulate's contact details, she has not yet made contact with them.
