Sgt who fought in mideast for 9 months: wife's deportation is 'not fair'

An active-duty service member is speaking out after his wife was deported to Honduras. Sgt. Hedar Turcios’s wife, Cristy Villafranca, was detained last month in El Paso, Texas, as she was driving home from Walmart with her husband and their daughter.

"I love what I do, and I want to keep doing it," he said.
