In late August, the wife of an active-duty U.S. Army sergeant was deported, placing one family at the intersection of two powerful and often indifferent systems: military service and immigration enforcement. The case illuminates a long-acknowledged but unresolved tension — that those who serve the nation in uniform may nonetheless watch their families be separated by the machinery of federal law. It is a reminder that policy, however procedurally sound, carries human weight that statistics rarely capture.
