A Coast Guardsman's wife was detained by federal immigration authorities at the Naval Air Station in Key West after her name was flagged during a routine check. Her work visa expired in 2017, leading to her being marked for removal. The couple married earlier this year and was in the process of moving to on-base housing when the arrest occurred. While this incident illustrates the intersection of immigration enforcement and military life, it does not appear to be part of a larger sweep by authorities.
This incident highlights how federal immigration laws can impact military families, as the wife of an active-duty Coast Guardsman was arrested during routine security checks.
The arrest of the Coast Guardsman’s spouse demonstrates the complexities faced by military families regarding immigration, particularly when visas expire and enforcement occurs.
