Sgt. 1st Class Jose Serrano spoke out after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement released his wife, Deisy Rivera Ortega, following roughly a month in custody. The couple’s situation drew attention when Rivera Ortega was detained; she was held for about a month before being released from ICE custody.
Serrano addressed the media after her release, and CBS News covered the story. CBS correspondent Camilo Montoya‑Galvez reported on the developments and the family’s reaction to the release.
The report notes only that Rivera Ortega was detained for about a month and has now been freed by ICE; Serrano’s on‑camera comments came in the immediate aftermath of her release.
