Family members of US military personnel have faced immigration issues. At least seven spouses or parents of active-duty service members have been deported. One such case involves the wife of an Army sergeant, who was recently deported to her native country. Her husband is struggling to cope with the situation. The US Department of Homeland Security has been involved in these cases.
More than 50 immediate family members of US troops have been detained by federal immigration authorities. In some cases, they were released after media attention and advocacy efforts.
Further details about these cases are available, including the impact on military families.
