Luis Manuel Aviles, 48, was released after his arrest by U.S. immigration services, which had sparked considerable controversy. His son Joshua had been deployed at sea for nine months aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln.
The family of Luis Manuel Aviles confirmed his release after several days in detention by ICE, the U.S. agency responsible for immigration control. The arrest of the 48-year-old man had sent shockwaves through the United States, at the very moment his son was serving aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, which had been deployed at sea for a record nine consecutive months.
The aircraft carrier had just set a US military record for the longest uninterrupted time spent at sea. This situation had already fueled concerns about supply shortages and the deteriorating mental health of the sailors on board.
The father's arrest became public after the American press reported that Joshua Aviles was entering his ninth month of deployment when his father was detained. The timing of these two events sparked strong criticism, including from circles close to military families.
