Over 50 parents and spouses of active-duty U.S. service members have been detained by immigration authorities under the Trump administration's crackdown, marking a sharp shift from earlier bipartisan policies that protected military families. Many were arrested during routine appointments to adjust their immigration status, the Department of Homeland Security said, adding that military service does not exempt individuals from immigration law violations. The detentions are part of a broader rollback of protections for military families as the administration pursues a mass deportation agenda, according to an Associated Press investigation. Officials and advocates say the arrests undermine military readiness and family stability.
