Disabled veteran fights ICE deportation of wife of 25 years

Army veteran Elton Stovell faces losing his caregiver wife Blanca after ICE detained her during a San Diego immigration court hearing. Blanca Espinoza-Chairez, 65, was taken into ICE custody last Thursday while attending her immigration appointment downtown. After 25 years in the US and married to the now-disabled veteran for the same span, Blanca serves as Elton's primary caregiver, managing his medications and medical appointments. The family has launched a petition to ICE and Congress, with their daughter Rosalie visiting Blanca at the Calexico detention facility. A DHS spokesperson says Blanca remains in ICE custody pending removal. #VeteransDay #SanDiegoNews #Immigration GET THE LATEST NEWS: ➡️ Latest News: https://www.cbs8.com/ ➡️ Stream to your TV: https://www.cbs8.com/streaming ➡️ Watch live: https://www.cbs8.com/watch ➡️ Follow us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMscWako8oDvpdF4pppku-g
