Trump’s immigration crackdown: Wife of US Army sergeant deported to Honduras

An active-duty US Army sergeant's wife, Cristy Maryori Villafranca-Trejo, has been deported to Honduras under President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown. The deportation occurred on July 11 outside a Walmart near Fort Bliss, Texas, where her husband, Army Sgt. Hedar Leonel Turcios Juarez, is stationed. Villafranca-Trejo, who entered the US from Honduras in 2016 at age 18 and has no criminal record, was detained after her husband informed him of her deportation after their marriage in 2022.

Turcios Juarez is now responsible for caring for their six-year-old daughter and has had to postpone his planned assignment at another base. The couple had been working on an application for her citizenship and was awaiting a decision on her application for military parole-in-place.
