Aviles Roa, originally from Nicaragua and living in the United States for nearly two decades, faced deportation proceedings after being taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). An immigration judge dismissed the case against him on Monday. His son, Joshua Aviles, serves aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, which has been on an extended deployment to the Middle East.
The family's announcement came in a Facebook post signed by the Aviles family and posted to Joshua Aviles' account. The post thanked supporters for their help during this challenging time but asked for understanding and respect as they reunite with Luis Manuel Aviles Roa while awaiting Joshua's return from deployment.
Joshua Aviles had previously shared his father's arrest on social media, expressing concern about continuing to work long hours knowing his father was in custody. The USS Abraham Lincoln is currently en route back to the United States after an extended deployment that has raised concerns about crew conditions and mental health challenges.
According to multiple sources, Aviles Roa had been living in the U.S. for 19 years with a work permit but faced deportation due to his immigration status. His arrest sparked backlash amid reports of deteriorating conditions on board the USS Abraham Lincoln and concerns about supply shortages affecting crew morale.
As reported by The Hill, Aviles Roa had been waiting for approval for a green card at the time of his arrest. The case highlights ongoing debates about immigration enforcement policies and their impact on military families. According to CBS News, DHS officials confirmed that having a family member in the military does not exempt individuals from deportation proceedings.
