Release from ICE detention brings relief and lingering trauma for wife of Army reservist Alicia Victoria Lozano
After four months and several court hearings, the wife of a U.S. Army Reserve Black Hawk pilot was released last week from an ICE detention facility in Houston.
Stephanie Kenny-Velasquez, who is from Venezuela, was detained in December just two days after marrying Chris Busby. On Tuesday, Busby, 28, stood outside the detention center with flowers and a smile waiting to hug his wife for the first time this year.
“I just can’t believe it,” he said on the phone. “We’ve waited so long.”
Kenny-Velasquez was released after a federal judge ruled that her due process rights had been violated when immigration officers detained her last year. She had previously applied for asylum and was released into the U.S. in 2021.
