Army sergeant's wife deported as daughter watched from car
An Army sergeant's wife was taken by immigration officers and deported to Honduras, a hard blow for military families caught in the immigration crackdown.
- Sergeant Hidar Juarez's wife was detained outside a Walmart while her young daughter waited in the car.
- Homeland Security says she entered the country illegally from Honduras in 2016 and was removed under federal law.
- Her husband says she has no criminal record at all, not even a traffic ticket, contradicting claims that only serious criminals are being targeted.
- More than 50 spouses and parents of military members have now been swept up in the crackdown.
- Advocates say the removals are piling stress on service members while they serve.
Outlook: Expect more military families to be split up as enforcement continues, and growing pressure on the administration to carve out protections for them.
