A US sailor's father was detained by ICE while his son served aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln during the Iran war, adding to concerns about the carrier and its crew. Luís Manuel Aviles Roa, originally from Nicaragua, was arrested during a vehicle stop in Key West, Florida, by the US Border Patrol. His son, Joshua Aviles, expressed his distress at his father's situation, stating that he had been deployed for over nine months at sea in the Middle East.
Joshua claimed his father had a driver's license, Social Security card, and work permit, yet was being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement pending removal proceedings. DHS alleged that Aviles Roa had entered the US illegally. The detention follows scrutiny over the USS Abraham Lincoln's deployment, which drew criticism for conditions on the ship and reportedly exceeded 200 consecutive days at sea – a modern-day record.
Rights groups have also criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, alleging violations of due process and concerns about racial profiling.
