ICE Arrest of Soldier’s Wife Sparks Outrage Over Selective Enforcement
Annie Ramos, a Honduran immigrant and wife of a US soldier, has been released from federal custody after her detention last week at a Louisiana military base. Ramos, who arrived in the US as a toddler and has faced a removal order since missing a hearing in 2005, was detained shortly after marrying US Army Staff Sergeant Matthew Blank. Despite the Department of Homeland Security citing a final removal order, Ramos’s release allows her to focus on obtaining legal status and continuing her education and community service.
