A US soldier's wife who was detained by immigration agents at the military base where he is stationed - just days after their wedding - has been released.

Annie Ramos, 22, an undocumented immigrant who came to the US as a toddler, was arrested on 2 April and spent five days at a detention centre alongside hundreds facing deportation under the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

Immigration officials described Ramos as "an illegal alien from Honduras" who was arrested after attempting to enter a military base.

Well, they wouldn't want sufficiently angered highly trained service members black bagging ICE agents in retaliation would they? It seems that very real threat actually won out over the urge to be fucking racists.

    As much as I'd like to believe it was the threat or risk of this, in reality, I'm more prone to believe it was how widely publicized the story was on all the talking news head shows.

    I found it more weird that the military even allowed ICE onto a base for this in the first place. I would have thought (hoped?) ICE and the military are isolated from each other.
