A Honduran woman with no criminal record, married to a decorated 20-year US military veteran, was arrested by ICE during a routine check-in appointment and transported 300 miles from her Texas home to a detention facility in Oklahoma.
Arelys Barahona-Martinez, 40, was taken into custody on 11 June 2026 at an ICE office in Dallas during what her husband believed was a standard supervised appearance. Retired Staff Sergeant Wilmer Trujillo, 45, who served in the US Army and the Texas National Guard for roughly 20 years, told CBS News his heart broke when he was informed she would be detained and deported.
