Border Patrol officers placed the father of a US sailor into ICE custody. They apprehended him after he crossed the US border. His son stays deployed overseas. He is currently serving on the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Middle East. The sailor said he was distressed that officers detained his father while he was away on military service. Multiple news organisations wrote about it. The Guardian, Reuters, The Hill, and The Independent all reported the story.
The case demonstrates how border enforcement can affect military families. Officials have not released details on his legal status. They set no release date.
