Honduran-Born Wife of Deployed US Soldier Released After Controversial Detention
Annie Ramos, the 22-year-old wife of a U.S. Army staff sergeant, has been released from federal immigration custody after nearly a week in detention. She was apprehended while attempting to register for military benefits at a Louisiana base where her husband, Staff Sgt. Matthew Blank, is stationed. Ramos, originally from Honduras, has lived in the United States since infancy but remains without legal status, complicating her efforts to secure a green card through her husband's military service.
