Luis Manuel Aviles, the father of a U.S. Navy sailor deployed on the USS Abraham Lincoln, was released from immigration detention, according to his family. His arrest occurred on Saturday when he left his home to take his car to the mechanic. Aviles, who has lived in the U.S. for 19 years and holds a work permit, was detained while his son was serving in the Navy for a record-breaking nine months.
The USS Abraham Lincoln has set a U.S. military record for uninterrupted time at sea, leading to concerns about supply shortages and the mental health of soldiers. Aviles' arrest drew significant backlash after it was reported that his son was still deployed at sea. An immigration judge dismissed Aviles' case shortly after his arrest, which has raised questions about the immigration enforcement practices affecting military families.
Joshua Aviles, his son, confirmed the release on Facebook, stating that he had been working long hours while his father awaited his return. The Department of Homeland Security did not provide immediate comments regarding the circumstances of Aviles' arrest and release.
美国海军水手的父亲从移民拘留中获释
根据他的家人，美国海军水手的父亲Luis Manuel Aviles已从移民拘留中获释。他在周六被逮捕，当时他离开家去修车。Aviles在美国生活了19年，并持有工作许可证，在他的儿子在海军服役九个月的记录期间被拘留。
USS Abraham Lincoln创造了美国军队不间断出海的记录，引发了对补给短缺和士兵心理健康的担忧。Aviles的逮捕在报道他儿子仍在海上服役后引发了强烈反响。一名移民法官在他被逮捕后不久驳回了Aviles的案件，这引发了人们对影响军人家庭的移民执法做法的质疑。
他的儿子Joshua Aviles在Facebook上确认了父亲的获释，表示自USS Lincoln出发以来，他一直在长时间工作，等待父亲的归来。国土安全部并未立即对此次逮捕和释放的情况发表评论。
