Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested the Honduran wife of a US soldier at a Louisiana base, who was brought to the US as a toddler, sparking controversy.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents reportedly detained Annie Ramos, the wife of US Army soldier Matthew Blank, in Louisiana just days after their marriage. Blank expressed his distress, stating his wife was 'ripped away' from him.

Staff Sgt. Matthew Blank reported for duty at Fort Polk, Louisiana, only for federal immigration forces to arrest his new bride, Sunday school teacher Annie Ramos, hours after the couple arrived at the military base. The newlywed soldier's wife faces deportation after being arrested by immigration police.
