ICE detains wife of US Army soldier at immigration appointment
The wife of a US Army soldier was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials during an immigration appointment in San Diego, California. The incident occurred on Monday at the US Citizenship and Immigration Services office.
According to ICE, the woman, identified as Maria Hernandez, had an outstanding deportation order issued in 2016 after failing to appear for a court hearing. ICE stated that Hernandez came to the agency’s attention during a review of records and that she is now in custody pending removal from the country.
Hernandez’s husband, Army Sergeant Carlos Hernandez, expressed shock and dismay at his wife’s detention, stating that she had been making efforts to regularize her immigration status. He mentioned that they had filed paperwork to adjust her status based on their marriage and that they were awaiting a decision.
On the other hand, ICE reiterated that individuals with final orders of removal are subject to enforcement and removal from the United States.
The case has sparked debate about the handling of immigration cases, particularly concerning individuals with family ties to members of the military. Advocacy groups have called for a review of Hernandez’s case and for discretionary measures to be applied due to her relationship with a service member.
Both ICE and the army have stated they are following their respective protocols and regulations in the matter.
