A 48-year-old man, Luis Manuel Aviles, has been released from immigration custody. He is the father of a US Navy sailor on a record-setting deployment. Aviles was arrested during a vehicle stop and was described as having entered the country illegally. His family reports that he has lived in the US for nearly 20 years and has a work permit and Social Security number.

Aviles also has an asylum case pending and requires medication for blood pressure. A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson provided a statement regarding his arrest. Further details about the circumstances of his arrest and release are available.

The case has drawn attention due to Aviles' family ties to a US Navy sailor and his own immigration status.
