‘She got ripped away from me,’ army soldier Matthew Blank said after his wife Annie Ramos was detained in Louisiana
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents under the command of the Trump administration have reportedly detained the wife of a US army staff sergeant at his military base in Louisiana amid his preparations to deploy.
The arrest of Annie Ramos, 22, took place last Thursday, just days after she married 23-year-old Matthew Blank, a soldier who has served for more than five years and previously deployed to the Middle East and Europe, the New York Times first reported on Sunday.
Ramos, a biochemistry student with no criminal history who also teaches Sunday school, had been subject to a deportation order issued in absentia in 2005 when she was an infant after her family missed an immigration court hearing, the New York Times reported.
This isn’t how you build morale for a ground war in a foreign nation.
If you were to ask for the personification of “The beatings will continue until morale improves” I’m not sure you could do much better than Pete’s dumbass face.
Sure it is. Gotta let the troops know what they’re fighting for.
“Are you a bad enough dude to save your wife?”
“Alternatively, are you a bad enough dude to **** the president?”
Save your wife and defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
What a shame. He looks filled with hope for the future and crayons for lunch.
I always think of that one tweet. I’ll serve crack before I serve this country.
I know it’s not the point, but is anyone else confused by a 23 year old serving more than 5 years in the military?
I assume it’s just a typo/bad editing or something…
No? He turned 18 years old and enlisted 5.5 years ago, has now served over 5 years.
I had forgotten portions of years exist. Thanks for clearing that up.
