‘She got ripped away from me,’ army soldier Matthew Blank said after his wife Annie Ramos was detained in Louisiana

‘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.

      I would say that the Prince of Saud and the Prime Minister of the UK have significantly more influence over the behaviors of the US Federal Government than some random ditch-kicking voter in Peoria.

      Hell, I’m cheering and clapping like a trained seal for the brave freedom-fighting IRGC right now. They’ve spent the last 40 years arming themselves and training to resist the full might of the US military. I have not.

          your mess?

          My mess? I’m sure a serf working the land, sire. You need to speak to the Lord of the Manor about yonder grievance.

          But careful what you say. My lord’s fiery temper has seen men hung for a triffle.

          I’m cheering for the death of Americans

          Well, joke’s on you. Most of those fucks have been on rotation so long they’ve forgotten what America looks like.

                  So you just want to destrpy everything that matters about their culture and way of life, making it impossible? Like they did to the plains tribes by hunting buffalo to near extinction?

                  What is an american without killing? Genuine question. The sanctimonious bloodlust and fanatical imperialism is so central to the culture here. You take our killing, and theres no more us.
