ICE Arrests Army Sergeant's Wife Upon Arrival at Military Base

  • Annie Ramos was detained by ICE at Fort Polk, Louisiana, just days after marrying Staff Sgt. Matthew Blank, as she sought to register as a military spouse.
  • Ramos, who entered the U.S. as a child, faces deportation due to a 2005 removal order, despite her pending green card application and DACA eligibility.
  • The case has drawn backlash from military advocates and over 60 members of Congress, who argue that such actions threaten military morale and recruitment.
