On April 2, Sergeant Matthew Blank, 23, and his wife, Annie Ramos, 22, were joined by relatives at Fort Polk, Louisiana, who were there to help register Ramos as a military spouse and get her moved in, Blanks mother, Jen Rickling, told ABC News. But soon, ICE agents entered the facility and detained Ramos.
I am deeply grateful to my husband, Matthew, who never stopped fighting for me, and to our families and community who surrounded us with love, prayers, and support. Because of them, I am home, Ramos said in a statement Tuesday, following her release.
"All I have ever wanted is to live with dignity in the country I have called home since I was a baby. I want to finish my degree, continue my education, and serve my community -- just as my husband serves our country with honor," Ramos' statement continued, in part. "As Matthew continues preparing for his long career in the military, my focus now is on securing my status, continuing my studies, and building our life together."

(60,983 posts)Everything she said about what she hopes to do is very likely the same as what she wanted to do before ICE detained her.
She is likely completely aware how big a story this was and knew she and her husband represent the strongest case for why what ICE is doing is wrong. She doesn't have to say anything about the evils of ICE - the story is already out there.
Even saying nothing, she is a perfect example of the genuinely good innocent people ICE is throwing out of the country after mistreating.

I'm SO glad to hear about her release!
