US soldier’s wife faces deportation after ICE arrest at army base

Ice Annie Ramos United States Matthew Blank
  • U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Matthew Blank's wife, Annie Ramos, was arrested by ICE agents at Fort Polk, Louisiana, shortly after their arrival at the military base.
  • Ramos, an undocumented migrant from Honduras, was taken into custody for deportation despite her recent marriage to Blank, a U.S. serviceman.
  • The couple had arrived at the base expecting Ramos to receive a military ID and spouse benefits, believing their marriage would grant her legal status.
  • The Department of Homeland Security said that Ramos had a final order of removal issued in absentia in 2005 when she was 22 months old.
  • Blank has vowed to fight for his wife's freedom, with a GoFundMe campaign raising funds for her legal fees as she remains in a detention centre.
