Juana McIntosh Arrested at Green Card Interview as Husband Jason McIntosh Serves Abroad

On Wednesday, October 2, 2025, Juana McIntosh was arrested during her green card interview at a USCIS office in Atlanta. She had gone to the interview with her U.S. Air Force husband, Jason McIntosh, who is currently serving overseas. According to reports, Juana was taken into custody by ICE officers soon after the appointment began.

Husband Speaks Out From Overseas

Jason McIntosh expressed shock and pain over the arrest of his wife. He said it was heartbreaking that while he is serving the country in the Middle East, his wife was detained in such a manner. The case has gained attention online, especially among military families and immigrant rights groups.

Immigration Struggles Continue

Juana McIntosh’s lawyer said she had followed all immigration rules and appeared for the interview as required. Instead of progressing with her application, she was placed in detention. Advocates argue that detaining the wife of a U.S. serviceman shows a lack of compassion and raises questions about how immigration rules are enforced.

Calls for Justice

Supporters have started petitions and social media campaigns demanding her release. Many are questioning why ICE would arrest a woman married to a U.S. Air Force member who is actively deployed abroad. Immigration officials have not yet issued a detailed statement about the arrest.
