Soldier's wife sent back to Honduras as U.S. immigration policy shifts

Cristy Villafranca-Trecho, wife of a U.S. Army sergeant stationed in Texas, was sent back to Honduras on August 25, 2026 — at least the seventh such case under Trump's second term. The AP found over 50 military family members detained after the government ended protections that had let troops' relatives stay in the U.S. despite deportation orders. Officials said she had her day in court.
