Military Spouse Deportation Policy

April 7 – April 7, 2026

Where Things Stand

Immigration officers are currently detaining and deporting the spouses of active-duty U.S. soldiers. This policy changes how the government treats military families and could impact the morale and focus of troops. Right now, enforcement is occurring at domestic bases like Fort Johnson because there are no laws or budget rules currently stopping these deportations.

Key Statements
