A US Army soldier is speaking out after his wife was detained by immigration authorities. Staff Sergeant Alexis Jaramillo, an aviation specialist, has served the US Army for 11 years. He is now fighting to have his wife returned from detention.

Jaramillo's wife, Maisa Lopes Eliaser, was taken into custody after what was believed to be a routine immigration interview in Montgomery, Alabama. The family had driven eight hours to the meeting, which was with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Further details on the situation are available from the source, including Jaramillo's comments on the treatment of his family by the country he has served.
