Sailor on USS Abraham Lincoln gets home to find his dad in ICE custody
Imagine working twelve-hour shifts on a warship only to find out the government is deporting your father back home.
Joshua Aviles, a sailor currently serving on the USS Abraham Lincoln, is having a rough week. While he’s been stuck at sea on a grueling deployment, he got the news that his father, Luis Manuel Aviles Roa, was pulled over in Key West and promptly detained by ICE.
His dad has been living in the U.S. for two decades with a pending application for legal status. According to his family, he has zero criminal record. But the Department of Homeland Security isn't blinking. They made it clear that having a child serving in the military isn't a free pass to ignore immigration laws. So, while the sailor is thousands of miles away dealing with ship conditions and long-term deployment, his family is scrambling to stop his father's deportation.
Being a hero for the country apparently comes with a very specific set of domestic ironies.
