Deportation aborted! Wife of US soldier back with family after mid-flight phone call

United States (AP) - An American soldier’s wife who spent more than a month in federal immigration detention is back home after officers removed her from a deportation flight to Brazil, the family has revealed. Earlier this month, The Associated Press highlighted the case of Maisa Lopes Eliaser, one of dozens of spouses or parents of United States military personnel detained after President Donald Trump’s administration rolled back protections for military families amid its push for mass deportations.
