Father of USS Lincoln sailor taken into ICE detention while son deployed in Middle East

Joshua Aviles, a US sailor currently deployed on the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Middle East, reported that his father has been taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The arrest occurred while Aviles was serving his nine-month deployment and awaiting the approval of his father's green card application.

Reports indicate that the sailor has been at sea for over nine months amid the ongoing regional conflict. The situation has drawn public attention due to the sailor's active-duty status and the reported logistical challenges, including shortages of supplies, faced by the crew during the deployment.
