‘She got ripped away from me,’ army soldier Matthew Blank said after his wife Annie Ramos was detained in Louisiana

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents under the command of the Trump administration have reportedly detained the wife of a US army staff sergeant at his military base in Louisiana amid his preparations to deploy.

The arrest of Annie Ramos, 22, took place last Thursday, just days after she married 23-year-old Matthew Blank, a soldier who has served for more than five years and previously deployed to the Middle East and Europe, the New York Times first reported on Sunday.

Ramos, a biochemistry student with no criminal history who also teaches Sunday school, had been subject to a deportation order issued in absentia in 2005 when she was an infant after her family missed an immigration court hearing, the New York Times reported.

        Or stop endangering Iranians and have Americans get off their arses and stop ICE themselves.

        Why the fuck should Iran have to be the ones to shoot at ICE or any other of the evil empires thugs.

          have Americans get off their arses and stop ICE themselves

          I’m reminded of folks who thought kids doing human wave attacks would be a good deterrent to school shooters.

            There are only about 20,000 ICE agents, even if you only count Democrat voters in 2024 ICE is outnumbered 1:3750.

              I would say that the Prince of Saud and the Prime Minister of the UK have significantly more influence over the behaviors of the US Federal Government than some random ditch-kicking voter in Peoria.

              Hell, I’m cheering and clapping like a trained seal for the brave freedom-fighting IRGC right now. They’ve spent the last 40 years arming themselves and training to resist the full might of the US military. I have not.

                You’re cheering for innocent people to die for your mess?

                I’m cheering for the death of Americans because they’ve shown themselves to be spineless Nazi enablers.

                  your mess?

                  My mess? I’m sure a serf working the land, sire. You need to speak to the Lord of the Manor about yonder grievance.

                  But careful what you say. My lord’s fiery temper has seen men hung for a triffle.

                  I’m cheering for the death of Americans

                  Well, joke’s on you. Most of those fucks have been on rotation so long they’ve forgotten what America looks like.

      If you were to ask for the personification of “The beatings will continue until morale improves” I’m not sure you could do much better than Pete’s dumbass face.
