Marine's parents nabbed by ICE as they visited pregnant daughter on military base [View all]

Marine’s parents nabbed by ICE as they visited pregnant daughter on military base

The parents of a U.S. Marine in California were detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement last month while en route to visit their pregnant daughter. The father was deported Friday, NBC News reported.

Steve Rios, a U.S. Marine and resident of Oceanside, was traveling with his parents to Camp Pendleton to visit his sister who, along with her husband who’s also a U.S. Marine, is expecting her first child. The trio was stopped at the base’s entrance, however, when ICE agents detained Rios’ parents, who have no criminal history and have pending green card applications.

“I just kept on looking at my parents,” Rios told NBC News. “I didn't know if it would be the last time I'd see them.”

Rios immediately texted his sister, Ashley Rios, about the incident as it was taking place, the news of which saw her break down in tears.
