Three plainclothes officers claiming to be from the Department of Public Safety deceived and deported Shirly Guardado, the undocumented wife of Army Sgt. Ayssac Correa, fracturing their family and casting doubt on his future in military service.
On March 13, Guardado dropped off her 10-month-old son with her mother and went to work at an air conditioning manufacturing company. That same morning, her husband, Correa, reported for duty with the 103rd Quartermaster Company outside of Houston. Guardado reportedly got a call from "some sort of public safety officer," informing her that her car had been in an accident in the work parking lot, according to Mother Jones. The men, who claimed to be Department of Public Safety officers apprehended her as she went out to inspect her vehicle.
