Trump’s immigration crackdown has detained more than 50 military spouses and parents: AP
The AP found at least 8 immediate family members remain in custody as the administration says military service does not exempt immigrants from enforcement.
- An Associated Press investigation revealed at least 51 parents and spouses of active-duty U.S. troops have been detained by immigration authorities since President Donald Trump took office for his second term.
- At least six military family members have been deported and eight remain in federal custody, according to court records compiled by the AP in the first comprehensive accounting of such cases.
- The arrests reflect a policy shift rolling back traditional protections that historically shielded non-citizen military relatives from deportation while they applied to adjust their legal status.
- The Department of Homeland Security does not track military family detentions, forcing researchers and attorneys to piece together numbers through federal court filings and direct verification.
- Military experts and service members warn the crackdown undermines troop readiness, leaving deployed or active personnel without family support, disrupting duty focus, and forcing some to take leaves of absence.
