U.S. Army Reserve Black Hawk pilot Chris Busby, 28, and Stephanie Kenny-Velasquez, 25, went to an Austin courthouse to get their marriage certificate on Dec. 3.
Roughly 48 hours later, Velasquez entered a Houston Immigration and Customs Enforcement office for a routine check-in and never emerged, Busby said. The uncertainty has left the newlywed questioning whether his time serving the country was worth it, he said.
Stephanie is beautiful, she is smart, shes amazing, he said. If it means sacrificing myself or my career to free her, I will do it.

Velasquez came to the United States in 2021 hoping to start a new life far from the violence and political instability of her native Venezuela. She does not have a criminal record and presented herself to immigration officials in Miami when she arrived in the country.

Lots of military are Democrats - for now, at least.
And a significantly greater number did not vote for Cadet Bonespurs in '24 than voted for him in '20.
Lots also don't vote, for stupid reasons.
