美国移民及海关执法局于周四释放了一名现役美国陆军士兵兼阿富汗战争退伍军人的妻子,其丈夫陆军一级军士长何塞·塞拉诺向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻网证实了这一消息。
塞拉诺的妻子戴西·里维拉·奥尔特加是萨尔瓦多人,于4月14日在德克萨斯州埃尔帕索的一次移民预约期间被移民海关执法局拘留。塞拉诺已在陆军服役27年,曾三次被派往阿富汗。他上个月首次向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻网透露,妻子在美国生活了约十年后被移民海关执法局逮捕。

她当时是为申请一项名为“现场假释”的特殊移民项目而参加这次预约,该项目旨在保护在美国非法居留或没有永久合法身份的军人配偶和父母免遭驱逐。
近几个月来,涉及美国军人亲属的移民海关执法局拘留事件时有发生,里维拉·奥尔特加的被捕只是其中一例。这类逮捕 historically rare,在第二届特朗普政府时期变得愈发频繁,该政府曾承诺推动美国历史上规模最大的驱逐行动。
当时,美国国土安全部表示,移民海关执法局逮捕里维拉·奥尔特加是因为其2019年的驱逐令。国土安全部还称,她曾因非法入境美国被定罪,属于联邦轻罪。
塞拉诺表示,妻子凭借根据《联合国禁止酷刑公约》获得的法律保护,持有政府许可证,在美国合法工作,该保护令禁止当局将她遣返回萨尔瓦多。如果申请获得批准,她目前正在推进的现场假释申请还可让里维拉·奥尔特加凭借与美国公民的婚姻关系获得绿卡或永久居留权。
塞拉诺称,妻子在移民海关执法局拘留期间被告知,她将被驱逐至第三国,比如墨西哥,因为她的法律保护仅禁止当局将其遣返回萨尔瓦多。塞拉诺于2022年与里维拉·奥尔特加结婚,他表示妻子被拘留加剧了自己的心理健康问题,他此前曾因创伤性脑损伤、创伤后应激障碍和抑郁症接受治疗。

上周在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻网采访时,白宫边境事务专员汤姆·霍曼在被问及里维拉·奥尔特加的案件时承诺会“调查”此事。
尽管他辩称那些收到驱逐令的人已经获得了“正当程序”,但霍曼也承认这是一个“棘手”的案件,并指出移民海关执法局官员对逮捕对象拥有“自由裁量权”。

Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Thursday released the wife of an active-duty U.S. Army soldier and Afghanistan war veteran after a monthlong detention, her husband, Sgt. 1st Class Jose Serrano, told CBS News.
Serrano’s wife, El Salvador native Deisy Rivera Ortega, was detained by ICE on April 14 during an immigration appointment in El Paso, Texas. Serrano, who has served in the Army for 27 years, including three deployments to Afghanistan, first revealed to CBS News last month that his wife had been arrested by ICE after living in the U.S. for roughly a decade.

She attended that appointment as part of an application for a special immigration program known as Parole in Place, designed to protect military spouses and parents who are in the U.S. illegally or without permanent legal status from deportation.
Rivera Ortega’s arrest was one of several ICE detentions in recent months involving relatives of U.S. service members. While historically rare, those arrests have become more common under the second Trump administration, which has vowed to oversee the largest deportation campaign in U.S. history.
At the time, the Department of Homeland Security said ICE arrested Rivera Ortega because of a deportation order dating back to 2019. DHS also said she was convicted of entering the U.S. illegally, a federal misdemeanor.
Serrano said his wife had been working in the U.S. legally with a government permit stemming from a legal protection she received under the United Nations Convention Against Torture that shields her from being deported to her native El Salvador. If granted, her pending Parole in Place application could also allow Rivera Ortega to obtain a green card or permanent residency based on her marriage to a U.S. citizen.
Serrano said his wife was informed in ICE detention that she was facing deportation to a third country, such as Mexico, because her legal protection only bars officials from returning her to El Salvador. Serrano, who married Rivera Ortega in 2022, said his wife’s detention exacerbated his mental health challenges, noting he has been treated previously for a traumatic brain injury, PTSD and depression.

During an interview with CBS News last week, White House border czar Tom Homan pledged to “look into” Rivera Ortega’s case after being asked about it.
While he argued that those who have received deportation orders have been afforded “due process,” Homan also acknowledged that it was a “difficult” case and noted ICE officers “have discretion” on who to target and who not to target.
