WASHINGTON (AP) — The wife of an active-duty Coast Guardsman was arrested earlier this week by federal immigration authorities inside the family residential section of the U.S. Naval Air Station at Key West, Florida, after she was flagged in a routine security check, officials said Saturday.

“The spouse is not a member of the Coast Guard and was detained by Homeland Security Investigations pursuant to a lawful removal order,” said Coast Guard spokesperson Lt. Cmdr. Steve Roth in a statement confirming Thursday’s on-base arrest. “The Coast Guard works closely with HSI and others to enforce federal laws, including on immigration.”

According to a U.S. official, the woman's work visa expired around 2017, and she was marked for removal from the United States a few years later. She and the Coast Guardsman were married early this year, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss an enforcement incident.

Though the Trump administration has made immigration arrests a top priority for federal law enforcement, it did not immediately appear the on-base arrest of the military spouse was part of a broader sweep.

Wouldn't the right thing to do would be to require the couple to update the visa ASAP? I mean it's not like this was a security emergency. But then I think the Trumpers enjoy being assholes.

1. They need to meet their quotas

So there is no nuanced approach. Plus, as you pointed out, they’re jerks.

2. My Trumper Ex-Friend defends this

She is certain that they are only going after criminal types. She is so deluded. She also believes that they will not go after seasonal workers in the fields, or maids in hotels, or slaughterhouse workers.
