‘She got ripped away from me,’ army soldier Matthew Blank said after his wife Annie Ramos was detained in Louisiana
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents under the command of the Trump administration have reportedly detained the wife of a US army staff sergeant at his military base in Louisiana amid his preparations to deploy.
The arrest of Annie Ramos, 22, took place last Thursday, just days after she married 23-year-old Matthew Blank, a soldier who has served for more than five years and previously deployed to the Middle East and Europe, the New York Times first reported on Sunday.
Ramos, a biochemistry student with no criminal history who also teaches Sunday school, had been subject to a deportation order issued in absentia in 2005 when she was an infant after her family missed an immigration court hearing, the New York Times reported.
Despicable. But very naive that she went into the office to try to sort this out in person. Should have sent a lawyer instead. I guess some people don’t follow the news very closely.
They think that because they voted for trump they’re exempt from the consequences they’ve forced on others.
Well I doubt this woman voted for anyone since she has no legal status.
I follow the news and even I am always a little shocked by this. A few years ago they would have helped her and then touted it as an example of how well we treat our military.
