ICE arrests newlywed Army sergeant's wife hours after couple arrive at military base [View all]

A U.S. Army staff sergeant who reported for duty at a military base in Louisiana with his new bride last week was shocked to see her arrested by ICE agents shortly after their arrival.

Staff Sgt. Matthew Blank, 23, had driven from Houston, Texas, to Fort Polk with his wife Annie Ramos, 22, and his parents in time for a 2 p.m. registration appointment on Thursday April 2.

Ramos is an undocumented migrant who was brought to the U.S. by her parents when she was a toddler and had understood that she would receive a green card through her marriage, which would entitle her to apply for citizenship within three years of its receipt, as is customary under U.S. immigration law.

The group duly signed in at the base’s visitors’ center as instructed and presented their documentation, which included Blank’s military ID, their marriage license, and Ramos’s Honduran passport.
