ICE Releases Army Sergeant’s Wife After Monthlong Detention in Texas
Deisy Rivera Ortega was released with GPS monitoring and ICE check-ins after her arrest at a military parole-in-place appointment drew bipartisan attention.
- On Thursday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement released Deisy Rivera Ortega, the wife of active-duty U.S. Army Sgt. Jose Serrano, after a monthlong detention in Texas.
- Authorities detained Rivera Ortega on April 14 in El Paso during an immigration appointment to apply for the parole-in-place program, which shields military family members from deportation.
- The Department of Homeland Security labeled Rivera Ortega a "criminal illegal alien from El Salvador," though she holds protections under the United Nations Convention Against Torture barring deportation to her home country.
- According to DHS, more than 100 immediate family members of military veterans have been placed into removal proceedings under the Trump administration's mass deportation agenda, illustrating broader concerns about these detentions.
