Federal immigration agents arrested the spouse of an active-duty Coast Guardsman on Thursday on-base at Naval Air Station Key West.

The Coast Guardsman and spouse were at the government housing area on the base on April 24 when agents of Homeland Security Investigations, a part of Immigration and Custom Enforcement or ICE. The family was in the process of moving onto the base in Florida.

“The Coast Guard is aware of a law enforcement action by federal authorities involving the spouse of a Coast Guard service member,” a Coast Guard spokesman told Task & Purpose on Saturday. “The spouse is not a member of the Coast Guard and was detained by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) pursuant to a lawful removal order. The Coast Guard works closely with HSI and others to enforce federal laws, including on immigration.”

The Associated Press, citing an unnamed official familiar with the incident, reported additional details. The couple was moving into on-base housing at the naval base and the wife’s name was flagged while undergoing a screening to get a pass to go onto the base. Per the official, the woman’s work visa expired in 2017 and was later marked for removal from the country. She and the Coast Guardsman got married earlier this year. The Associated Press reports that base security as well as Naval Criminal Investigative Service were contacted after the woman’s information was flagged. They went to the couple’s home on base, along with HSI agents, who detained her.

The Coast Guard is a part of the Department of Homeland Security.

The Coast Guard member serves aboard the cutter the USCGC Mohawk, which is based out of Key West, in Coast Guard District 7. The cutter had been at port since mid-March. Task & Purpose reached out to ICE and the specific Coast Guard district for more information but as of press time has not heard back.

It is not clear what will happen to the wife next or if she is still currently being detained by immigration agents.

What prize do you get for being stupid?

Spouses of citizens are citizens, toxic pseudo-Christian. Here's the first example of a citizen getting deported that you're getting your nose rubbed in like a naughty, incredibly stupid puppy, because you are insane enough to think government never makes mistakes.

She overstayed her Visa, then she married an American but failed to fix her immigration status because the marriage would rightly have been seen as a sham to game the immigration system because she was an overstay.

The law is the law, shithead. Has been since long before either of us was born. You're just a hateful curmudgeon grousing over the weather. Full of sound and fury, and as usual, signifying absolutely nothing.

Yes, the law is the law, and the law says she is illegally here, she overstayed her Visa and she failed to fix her immigration status.
The law is why she's being deported.

The law doesn't deport citizens, shithead. It's the government breaking the law. She fixed her immigration status when she said, "I do". She's innocent until proven guilty. You know. The way you proved yourself stupid because you don't have sense enough to use your right to remain silent.

She's not a citizen, spousal citizenship hasn't been automatic since women were no longer considered property of their husbands.

The law lays out the rules for her to obtain citizenship as the spouse of an American, she never bothered to follow the law or obtain citizenship.

IF she had followed the law she might have had citizenship by now if she convinced INS that her marriage wasn't an immigration sham. (which it probably is)

No.

Yes, they are, and the courts are trying to stop them, with fervent support from libertarians.
