ICE detains U.S. soldier's wife
Annie Ramos was taken into custody at Fort Polk, Louisiana, while she and her husband, Matthew Blank, were preparing to move into their new home.
The incident is being cited as a prime example of the Trump administration's aggressive mass deportation campaign, which now targets military families previously considered protected.
Ramos had applied for DACA status in 2020, but her processing was halted by a prior administration ban.
Advocacy groups have condemned the move, highlighting the psychological toll on service members who are being 'ripped away' from their spouses.
