A U.S. Navy sailor deployed aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln says he learned that his father was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Joshua Aviles says his father is in ICE custody, and he learned of the detention while he was at sea, according to reporting from The Hill and CBS News.
Aviles has been deployed for about nine months on the USS Abraham Lincoln, which is operating in the Middle East. The Hill reports that during the deployment he experiences reported shortages of clean water, food, and other supplies. Both outlets frame the detention as personal news arriving amid a long deployment, though neither provides extensive details about the circumstances that led to the father’s ICE detention.
The outlets’ emphasis differs: CBS News focuses on the immediate revelation that ICE took his dad, while The Hill also highlights the broader conditions of the sailor’s deployment, including reported supply issues.
