The female migrant who was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers at Salt Lake City airport did not know she had a long-serving deportation order, according to a lawyer working on her case.
Marta Brizeyda Renderos Leiva, 39, was arrested by plain-clothed agents at the Utah travel hub last Wednesday.
Footage of her arrest showed the wailing mother-of-four imploring, 'Help me, I have my papers' as she was taken into custody by ICE.
Now, her legal team has claimed Leiva 'did not know' that a judge had placed a removal order against her.
'She is a woman who had no idea there was a removal order against her,' Andy Armstrong, an attorney involved in Leiva's case, told FOX 13.
He said a court notice had been sent to an address that Leiva did not reside at.
What's more, Leiva believes it was sent to the notary who helped with immigration paperwork.
Armstrong added: 'She went to this individual to help her fill out the forms, as many immigrants do - go to these services - and we believe that it was his address that was on the form as his address.'
In a statement, ICE identified Leiva as being in the country illegally and said she was from El Salvador, having entered the US in 2007.
Leiva was targeted in what a statement referred to as an 'enforcement operation' after she had been given a final order of removal in absentia in February 2020.
Armstrong said Leiva had a valid work permit that had been approved in 2024 and ran until 2029 and believed she was in possession of all the required documents prior to her arrest.

I have papers!!! Probably rolling papers.
18 years squatting in the US. Acts like a FN toddler when it finally caught up to her. Usual sob story from all the Salt Lake media.
Well, she does now!
IF TRUE that she had a removal order in 2020 and a work permit issued in 2024, the government is not properly checking records
Who was in the WH from 2020-2024...
It was sent to an address SHE GAVE THEM. That’s how it works in the legal system. Someone who has contact with law enforcement and the courts is always asked to give a good address so they know where to send them notices of court events and orders.
Good of the Daily Mail to do this follow up. When I read the first report/sob story, it was obvious there was a whole backstory they weren’t telling.
Bide and the dems allowed all of this to happen and should be held accountable for our laws to be broken.
Even if she didn’t receive the order because she no longer lived at the address to which it was sent, that’s no excuse. When a person is in this type of situation, I’m assuming they are told they must keep the immigration authorities informed if they move to a different address.
GET THEM ALL OUT, AND FASTER!!! 2029 is looking sketchy. We need to remove as many as humanly possible, and build the damn wall.
Get em out NOW because after the Dems take the House and Senate in 2026—They will be given permanent residency and a path to citizenship. With these new voters Democrats will have a century of rule before them. When Trump is impeached in 2027 with JD Vance. Speaker AOC will become the president of the United States. She will make Biden look like a great statesman.
They can't do that until 2029, when the Dems will eliminate the filibuster to pass mass amnesty and pack the Court. Problem is, removing people isn't enough, since the Dems will just bring them back in. We need a solid barrier and the states being allowed to enforce them.
“IF TRUE that she had a removal order in 2020 and a work permit issued in 2024, the government is not properly checking records.”
The removal order is legit. The work permit is probably fake or based upon fake documentation.
A lot of these illegals don’t show up for their appointed court dates. If they don’t show, the judge can rule against them.
The scum crossing our boarders are the case offs of mexico, central and south America and the third world as well as china, africa and many enemy moslem nations and groups paid for by soros like billionaires using their money to attack the American people in an undeclared war. And to be sure it is a war with real causalities (VICTIMS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS MEMORIAL). These cowardly attackers are assisted by our own quislings, collaborators paid and self retarded idealistic fellow travelers. Many are communists, socialists and just plain fascists. That includes the woke, demoRATs, liberals and NGO's that until recently were funded by usaid.
Was she changing addresses to evade the order?
Thank you. It sure sounded like they’d been coached on what to say, and I know some advocacy groups are offering “legal” advice.
“YOU” KNOW that you entered the country illegally. You KNOW this.
This FACT doesn’t change with time or children you had while here.
