The wife of Sgt. First Class Jose Serrano remains in custody at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in El Paso, Texas, according to her attorney and family members.

The woman, whose identity has not been publicly disclosed, is facing deportation to Mexico. Her case has drawn attention because of her marriage to an active-duty service member.

According to her attorney, there was confusion about her potential release from immigration detention on Wednesday. The attorney stated that the family was misled about her release status, leading to disappointment when she remained in custody.

Family members expressed their distress over the situation, describing themselves as "heartbroken" to learn that she would not be released as they had been led to believe.

The case highlights the complex intersection of immigration enforcement and military families, where spouses of service members can still face deportation proceedings despite their connection to active-duty personnel.

ICE has not publicly commented on the specific details of the case or the circumstances surrounding the apparent miscommunication about her release status.
