Army Wife Faces Potential Detention and Deportation at ICE Check-in While Husband is Deployed
The wife of a U.S. Army soldier is facing potential detention and deportation during a scheduled immigration check-in with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Norcross, Georgia. Her attorney, Tony Kozycki, expressed concerns that she will be taken into custody and ultimately deported, which would separate her from her husband who is currently away for military training. The woman's identity and nationality have not been disclosed. She had previously applied for asylum, which was denied, and has since been under ICE supervision with electronic monitoring, complying with required check-ins. The organization Repatriate Our Patriots, which advocates for deported veterans and military families, connected her with Kozycki Law after her asylum denial. Kozycki and members of Common Defense Georgia plan to hold a news conference outside the ICE facility to draw attention to her case.
