Wife of active-duty serviceman avoids deportation at Norcross ICE check-in

In Atlanta, Georgia, the wife of an active-duty servicemember avoided deportation Wednesday after a recent denial of her asylum application. A Colombian national, she has been in the U.S. since 2022 and is not a U.S. citizen. Her husband, a citizen, was away training with the U.S. Army for seven months, according to her attorney, and she had not been able to reach him for updates. She reported for a scheduled check-in at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility, where attorneys feared she could be detained and removed. After about an hour and a half, she emerged free to go home.
