Family Torn Apart by Immigration Arrest | Virginia Beach News

Federal agents detained three undocumented men in Norfolk—including a fiancé and his brother-in-law who’ve lived in the U.S. since 2021—while they were en route to work, with one already facing deportation. The fiancé’s U.S. citizen girlfriend was briefly handcuffed and had her phone seized after arriving to film the arrests, while her minor sister was also present. Despite her citizenship, she was detained and only released after her sister produced her birth certificate. The DHS called it a targeted operation, affirming due process and offering voluntary departure. The men are now in detention pending removal. The girlfriend, heartbroken and fearful, revealed they’re supporting a pregnant sister-in-law and their two-year-old U.S. citizen child, with their future—including marriage—now in jeopardy.
