Army Wife Pulled Off Deportation Flight, Freed

"Who made the call? We don't know," Jaramillo told the AP. "But someone made the phone call, and then she came back."

Eliaser said ICE officers told her she was "famous" because videos about her case had circulated.

She said she is still struggling to sleep and fears being sent back to the facility, where she said she was treated like "an animal." "It felt like I was in a nightmare," she said. "I could not believe what was happening until I returned to my house. Day by day, I'm trying to recover from this trauma."

Danitza James, who heads Repatriate Our Patriots, a nonprofit that supports military families facing deportation and helped with the case, said at a news conference: "This family's reunion is proof of what's possible when people set politics aside and do right by those who serve. We won't stop until every military family facing detention gets the same chance at justice."

Jaramillo said Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona, a former Navy officer, also looked into his wife's case. Kelly's office did not immediately respond to an AP request for comment. DHS, which oversees ICE, also did not immediately respond.
