Military Families and Immigration Enforcement

Immigration and Customs Enforcement will deport Deisy Rivera Ortega, the wife of an active-duty Army soldier, after reversing an earlier decision to release her. She had been detained after ICE arrested her on the basis of a 2019 deportation order and a misdemeanor illegal-entry conviction, officials said. ICE initially told the family she would be released, but Department of Homeland Security and ICE officials later informed her lawyer she will instead be sent to Mexico.
