Annie Ramos: One of "the worst of the worst" on White House Nazi Stephen Miller's hit list

 
Headline:  New York Times print edition, 4/7/2026

Miriam Jordan reports:
The detention came just days after Annie Ramos, 22, a college student with no criminal record [yup, the worst ot the worst], and Matthew Blank, 23, celebrated their marriage with family and friends. Sergeant Blank, who enlisted more than five years ago, is assigned to a brigade at Fort Polk, La. that is set to begin training at the end of the month for deployment. 
“Our plan was to drive over, bring her to the office to get her military ID and activate her military spouse benefits,” such as health and life insurance, he said. “She was going to move in after the Easter weekend. Instead, she got ripped away from me.” 
When U.S. citizens marry undocumented immigrants, their spouses become eligible for legal permanent residency through marriage, and they can apply for citizenship three years after receiving their green card.

Fortunately, Annie Ramos was released a few days later.

Jordan follows up on Sen. Mark Kelly's rescue mission:
That afternoon, Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, where Sergeant Blank’s family is from, called to say that he would push for Ms. Ramos’s release, according to Sergeant Blank and a spokeswoman for Mr. Kelly. But Mr. Kelly, a retired U.S. Navy captain, cautioned that it could take time.  
Several hours later, Sergeant Blank said, Mr. Kelly called to say that he had spoken with Markwayne Mullin, the new homeland security secretary, and that Ms. Ramos would be released by Tuesday.
