"The parents of a 24-year-old U.S. Marine reservist were detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement upon visiting family at Camp Pendleton last month. The father was deported to Mexico, while the mother remains in detention, their son said. Steve Rios, who serves in the Marine Corps Reserves as a sergeant and is stationed in Long Beach, said that his parents, Esteban Rios and Luisa Rodriguez, were detained when they were on their way to visit his pregnant sister"
"Rios said that they showed their California driver's licenses at the gate, which their parents had obtained when they received work permits, as they had done on previous occasions. Shortly after, they were asked to pull over and were later detained by ICE agents. Last week, he was informed that his father had been sent back to Mexico. My heart just dropped, Rios said about the moment"
Parents of a 24-year-old Marine reservist were detained by ICE at Camp Pendleton while visiting family; the father was deported to Mexico and the mother remains in detention. The reservist, Sergeant Steve Rios, said his parents presented California driver's licenses obtained with work permits at the base gate and had done so on prior visits. After being asked to pull over, ICE agents detained them. Camp Pendleton launched an interagency security initiative in May with ICE, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service to deter unauthorized access and assist identity verification at certain entry points. Camp officials referred questions about the arrests to ICE, which declined to release case details.
