一名曾在美国陆军和德克萨斯州国民警卫队服役约20年的美国公民正急切呼吁联邦移民官员释放他的妻子，而他的妻子正面临被遣返回原籍洪都拉斯的命运。
已退休的参谋军士威尔默·特鲁希略表示，他的妻子40岁的阿雷利斯·巴哈拉ona-马丁内斯周三在达拉斯的移民海关执法局办公室进行报到预约时，被美国移民和海关执法局拘留。
45岁的特鲁希略在周五接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻采访时表示，当得知妻子将“被拘留并驱逐出境”时，他“心碎了”。
特鲁希略说，他在高中毕业后的20世纪90年代末应征入伍。他表示，自己在陆军服役约四年，又在德克萨斯州国民警卫队服役16年，曾被部署到伊拉克和阿富汗，并于2021年退休。

“我不想憎恨移民海关执法局，也不想憎恨任何人，但这真的让我无法理解。这让我心如刀绞，”特鲁希略说。“我热爱这个国家，但这个国家却要拆散我的家庭，带走我的妻子；她是我的精神支柱，是我整个家庭的后盾。”
法律文件显示，特鲁希略与巴哈拉ona-马丁内斯于2020年结婚。这对夫妇与特鲁希略前一段婚姻所生的女儿，以及巴哈拉ona-马丁内斯20岁的儿子一同住在德克萨斯州普林斯顿。她的儿子是美国公民，患有神经纤维瘤病，这种病症导致包括鼻腔在内的部位长出肿瘤。特鲁希略表示，多年来他们已经组成了一个亲密无间的家庭。
美国国土安全部在给哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的一份声明中表示，移民海关执法局于6月10日逮捕了巴哈拉ona-马丁内斯，并指出她是非法入境美国的。该部门援引了20多年前的一项驱逐令。
“巴哈拉ona-马丁内斯获得了完整的正当法律程序，并于2005年11月2日被一名移民法官下达了最终驱逐令，”国土安全部补充道。“特朗普政府不会无视法治。在被驱逐出美国之前，她将继续被移民海关执法局拘留。”
根据该机构的在线在押人员追踪系统，截至周五，巴哈拉ona-马丁内斯被移民海关执法局关押在俄克拉荷马州沃通加的戴蒙德巴克惩教所。
巴哈拉ona-马丁内斯的移民律师马克·什穆埃利表示，他的当事人没有犯罪记录。他说，巴哈拉ona-马丁内斯于2005年首次非法穿越南部边境进入美国，在此生下了儿子，随后于2006年带着儿子返回洪都拉斯。
什穆埃利证实，巴哈拉ona-马丁内斯在2005年被下达了驱逐令，但表示她是在“缺席”的情况下被下令驱逐的，因为她并未出席一场她并不知情的听证会。
政府文件显示，巴哈拉ona-马丁内斯于2018年第二次非法穿越美墨边境。特鲁希略和什穆埃利表示，她回到美国是出于无奈，称她在美国出生的儿子需要接受大量医疗救治。特鲁希略还说，洪都拉斯的帮派成员也试图招募他妻子的儿子。
“她来这里的全部原因就是为了救她的儿子，”特鲁希略说。
巴哈拉ona-马丁内斯被逮捕是移民海关执法局拘留美国军人或退伍军人士兵配偶的最新案例。这类拘留 historically rare，在第二届特朗普政府时期变得更加常见，该政府取消了此前对移民海关执法局逮捕行动的限制，作为其大规模驱逐行动的一部分。
在一些案件获得媒体关注和国会议员介入后，部分军人配偶已从移民海关执法局的拘留中获释，例如现役陆军士兵的妻子戴西·里维拉-奥尔tega的案件。她在4月被移民海关执法局拘留，并于上个月获释，不过她的驱逐案件仍在审理中。
什穆埃利表示，鉴于巴哈拉ona-马丁内斯没有犯罪记录、她与一名退休参谋军士的婚姻关系，以及她美国儿子的病情，本案也应取得同样的结果。他指出，基于她与美国公民的婚姻，巴哈拉ona-马丁内斯有申请绿卡的途径。
但要获得绿卡资格，必须在移民法院重新开启她的案件，以撤销驱逐令。什穆埃利表示，她已经提交了重新开启移民法院案件的申请，同时他还计划提交一份“就地假释”申请，这是一项专门用于保护某些军人配偶或父母免遭驱逐的计划。
特鲁希略表示，移民海关执法局将他的妻子视为顽固的罪犯，他敦促该机构允许她在拘留之外继续推进移民案件。
“我想对移民海关执法局说：我不是在请求恩惠。我知道很多军人都正在经历这种处境。我只是请求[移民海关执法局]放了我的妻子，”他说。“不要拆散这个家庭。”
“It rips my heart apart”: U.S. military veteran calls on ICE to release wife

An American citizen who served in the U.S. Army and the Texas National Guard for roughly 20 years is desperately urging federal immigration officials to release his wife, who is facing deportation to her native Honduras.
Retired Staff Sgt. Wilmer Trujillo said his wife, Arelys Barahona-Martinez, 40, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Wednesday during a check-in appointment at an agency office in Dallas.
In an interview with CBS News Friday, Trujillo, 45, said his “heart broke” when he was told his wife would be “detained and deported.”
Trujillo said he enlisted in the military in the late 1990s, right after high school. He said he served in the Army for approximately four years and the Texas National Guard for another 16 years, and he was deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan. He retired in 2021.

“I don’t want to hate on ICE. I don’t want to hate on anybody, but yeah, it boggles me. It rips my heart apart,” Trujillo said. “I love this country, and for this country to rip apart my family and take away my wife; she’s my rock and she is my backbone to this family.”
Trujillo and Barahona-Martinez married in 2020, legal documents show. The couple lives in Princeton, Texas, with Trujillo’s daughters from a prior marriage and Barahona-Martinez’s 20-year-old son, a U.S. citizen with neurofibromatosis, a medical condition which has led to the emergence of tumors, including in his nose. Trujillo said they’ve become a tight-knit family over the past years.
In a statement to CBS News, the Department of Homeland Security said ICE arrested Barahona-Martinez on June 10, noting she entered the U.S. illegally. The department cited a deportation order from over 20 years ago.
“Barahona-Martinez received full due process and was issued a final order of removal from an immigration judge on November 2, 2005,” DHS added. “The Trump administration is not going to ignore the rule of law. She will remain in ICE custody pending removal from the U.S.”
As of Friday, Barahona-Martinez was being held by ICE at the Diamondback Correctional Facility in Watonga, Oklahoma, according to the agency’s online detainee tracker.
Mark Shmueli, Barahona-Martinez’s immigration lawyer, said his client does not have a criminal record. He said she first crossed the southern border illegally in 2005 to enter the U.S., where she had her son before going back to Honduras with him in 2006.
Shmueli confirmed that Barahona-Martinez was issued a deportation order in 2005 but said she was ordered deported “in absentia” because she did not attend a hearing she was not aware of.
Barahona-Martinez crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally a second time in 2018, government documents show. Trujillo and Shmueli said she returned to the U.S. out of desperation, saying her U.S.-born son required significant medical attention. Trujillo said gang members in Honduras were also trying to recruit his wife’s son.
“This is the whole reason she’s here. To save her son,” Trujillo said.
Barahona-Martinez’s arrest is the latest detention of a spouse of a U.S. service member or veteran by ICE. Historically rare, such arrests have become more common under the second Trump administration, which has revoked prior limits on ICE arrests as part of its mass deportation campaign.
Some military spouses have been released from ICE custody after their cases garnered media attention and intervention from members of Congress, like the case of Deisy Rivera-Ortega, the wife of an active-duty Army soldier. She was detained by ICE in April and released last month, though her deportation case is still active.
Shmueli said the same outcome should occur in this case, given Barahona-Martinez’s lack of a criminal record, her marriage to a retired staff sergeant and her American son’s medical condition. He noted Barahona-Martinez has a path to becoming a green card holder, based on her marriage to a U.S. citizen.
But, to be eligible for a green card, her deportation case would have to be reopened in immigration court so her removal order is nullified. Shmueli said she has a pending request to reopen her immigration court case, and that he also plans to file an application for Parole-in-Place, a specialized program which protects certain military spouses or parents from deportation.
Trujillo said ICE is treating his wife as a hardened criminal, urging the agency to allow her to continue her immigration case outside of detention.
“My message to ICE is: I’m not asking for favors. I know a lot of military members are going through this. I am just asking [ICE] to let my wife go,” he said. “Don’t break this family apart.”
