The wife of an active-duty US soldier in El Paso, Texas, was detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement - at least the second instance of a military spouse being held by ICE this month.
ICE arrested Deisy Rivera Ortega on 14 April, according to the Department of Homeland Security, and she is being held at a detention facility in El Paso, records show.
Rivera Ortega went with her husband to an interview for the parole-in-place programme, which allows family members of US military personnel to stay in the US while their immigration cases play out.
"They just took my wife away," her husband, Sergeant First Class Jose Serrano, told the BBC.
The situation left him anxious and distraught, he said.
