ICE will deport the wife of an active-duty Army soldier despite earlier notices she might be released.
Deisy Rivera Ortega, detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after authorities cited a 2019 deportation order and a misdemeanor illegal-entry conviction, remains in custody in the United States.
Her attorney, Matthew James Kozik, said DHS and ICE told him she will be deported to Mexico and he is preparing a court challenge to block the removal.
Officials said she is protected from removal to her native El Salvador, so Mexico is the planned destination.
