Immigration and Customs Enforcement has released the wife of a U.S. Army staff sergeant after she was arrested at the military base where he is stationed, just days after the couple married.
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, Blank’s 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."
