ICE detains Army veteran's wife at green card interview

ICE detained Airida Gould, a Lithuanian national who came to the U.S. in 2000 and is married to Army veteran Mark Gould, when she appeared for a green card interview in the Chicago area in May, citing a 17-year-old removal order tied to a missed hearing. Gould, a licensed massage therapist who had just marked her 20th year at the same business, was held at an out-of-state detention facility more than 300 miles from her husband and their two sons; as of the article's July 21 publication, her husband said she was being deported that night.

It is the second fatal ICE shooting in less than a week, after Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's killing in Houston on July 7.
