In a surprising turn of events, a Coast Guardsman's wife was arrested by federal immigration authorities within the residential section of the U.S. Naval Air Station in Key West, Florida. The arrest occurred after her name was flagged during a routine security check, stemming from an expired work visa and a previous lawful removal order. Despite heightened immigration enforcement under the Trump administration, this incident did not seem part of a larger operation. The Coast Guard confirmed their cooperation in enforcing immigration laws, even on military installations.
The spouse is not a member of the Coast Guard and was detained by Homeland Security Investigations pursuant to a lawful removal order.
The woman's work visa expired around 2017, and she was marked for removal from the United States a few years later.
