A US Army staff sergeant and his new wife were reportedly preparing to move into their new home on a military base in Louisiana - but the woman was detained by ICE instead.
Matthew Blank, 23, said he arrived with his 22-year-old wife Annie Ramos at Fort Polk, where he was prepared to begin training for deployment, when Ramos was suddenly taken into custody.
'Our plan was to drive over, bring her to the office to get her military ID and activate her military spouse benefits,' Blank told the New York Times.
'She was going to move in after the Easter weekend.
Instead, she got ripped away from me.'
Blank was well aware that his wife, who was brought to the country from Honduras when she was just a toddler, did not have legal status.
However, the couple hired a lawyer before they were even married to ensure she could obtain her citizenship.
'We were doing everything the right way,' Blank said.
