ICE Detains Marine Corps Veteran’s Wife Who Was Still Breastfeeding Their Child

BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA, JUN 23 – Paola Clouatre was detained despite breastfeeding her infant and pursuing legal status, reflecting a policy shift that ended protections for military families, with ICE arrests rising to 1,100 daily.

  • U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained Paola Clouatre, wife of Marine Corps veteran Adrian Clouatre, last month in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where she is now in custody facing deportation.
  • This detention follows a Trump administration policy push for aggressive deportations, including a target of 3,000 arrests daily and ending previous USCIS discretion for veterans' families.
  • Paola, a 25-year-old Mexican national who entered the U.S. as a minor seeking asylum with her mother, married Adrian in 2024 and sought a green card to live and work legally in the U.S.
  • Adrian, 26, expressed emotional distress stating they tried to do the right thing and that Paola was unaware of her removal order, while immigration experts criticize the loss of leeway for military families.
  • Paola's detention disrupts the family, forcing Adrian to make eight-hour trips to visit her, and highlights tensions around immigration enforcement balancing rule of law with discretion for veterans' families.
