A Burnsville, Minnesota, woman who was supposed to have an ovarian cyst removed but was detained by ICE agents days before her surgery is living in severe pain, according to her lawyer. Rep. Angie Craig is demanding the release of Andrea Pedro-Francisco so she can get the proper care she needs, because it could mean life or death. The 23-year-old has an ovarian cyst the size of a tennis ball that needs to be removed. Pedro-Francisco was arrested in early February, just days before her scheduled surgery to remove the cyst. Instead of getting the treatment, she was taken to a detention facility in El Paso, Texas. Her lawyer says she still hasn't received proper care.
