Disabled Army vet after ICE arrests husband: 'This is not really what I fought for'
A disabled Army veteran said her immigrant husband and father to her four children was detained by Immigration and Customs enforcement (ICE) in New Jersey despite being a legal resident for more than 20 years.
Alexsa Foster's husband, Dane Foster, was arrested last week by ICE after they dropped their daughter off of at daycare in Westampton, news siteNJ.com reported Thursday.
"This is not really what I fought for and signed up for when I joined the military. It's not what I thought this country could be," Alexsa Foster, 28, said.
She spent seven years in the U.S. Army and the National Guard as a mechanic. She fractured her pelvis and now suffers from seizures and migraines which leave her unable to work.
Dane Foster is a Jamaican immigrant who has been a legal resident with a green card since 1997. The couple have four children, ages 2 through 9.
His lawn maintenance service business is their main source of income for the family, NJ.com reported.
His lawyer told the outlet that he was arrested because of multiple marijuana possessions charges stemming from the early 2000s and 2014, according to NJ.com.
