The El Salvadoran wife of an active-duty U.S. soldier detained by ICE could be deported to Mexico.

Sergeant First Class Jose Serrano, an active-duty U.S. Army sergeant who served in the Army for 27 years, including several years in Afghanistan, said ICE is out of control after his wife, Daisy Rivera Ortega, who is El Salvadorian by birth, was detained by ICE on April 14 in Texas. When Ortega was arrested he was assigned to the immigration office in El Paso.Ortega came to the US in 2016 and was granted legal protection in 2019, CBS News reported. Because of his legal protections, Ortega cannot be deported to El Salvador, but authorities told Serrano, 51, that his wife could be deported to Mexico. Serrano said, “I don’t really understand why, because he followed immigration rules to a T from day one.” He said his wife had an active work permit at the time of her arrest.Serrano said in his interview with CBS, “I love the Army. The Army helped me for almost 28 years. This is not the Army, sir. This is ICE.” “ICE is out of control right now and is taking away our rights as soldiers.”Serrano was born in Puerto Rico, and the couple married in 2022. He also submitted a Parole in Place application on his wife’s behalf last year, which is a special program designed to provide deportation protection to military spouses or parents who are in the U.S. without legal status, but the case remained pending. The wife had a military ID that was labeled wife of an active-duty Army soldier. US service members cannot travel to Mexico. If Ortega is deported to Mexico where she knows no one, Serrano will have to give up either her army career or her wife. He suffered from traumatic brain injury, PTSD and depression and his mental health deteriorated after his wife’s arrest as he was unable to sleep.

DHS says Ortega is a criminal illegal alien

DHS said in its statement to CBS News that Ortega was ordered deported in 2019 after receiving full due process. The department labeled him a “criminal illegal alien” and said he had been convicted of illegal entry into the United States.

CEC Gyanesh Kumar; TMC MP Derek O’Brien

New Delhi: Opposition parties will bring a new proposal to impeach Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar. Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP and spokesperson Derek O’Brien said on Monday.“19 political parties and around 300 MPs had earlier given impeachment notice against the CEC. In the coming days, a fresh impeachment notice will be brought with additional charges,” O’Brien told reporters at a press conference in Kolkata.Earlier this month, both Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and Rajya Sabha Chairman, Vice President CP Radhakrishnan, rejected opposition notices demanding the removal of Kumar, who has been repeatedly accused of favoring the ruling BJP.Preparations for the upcoming assembly elections in West Bengal – where the TMC has been in power since 2011 and will seek power for the fourth consecutive term – have been particularly acrimonious, with tensions over issues such as the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists and the removal of IAS and IPS officers in the state by the Election Commission (EC). Since the Model Code of Conduct is currently in force, the Election Commission is currently overseeing the state machinery.The previous proposal to remove Kumar was the first such move against the current CEC.Of the 294 assembly seats in West Bengal, 152 seats will go to polls on Thursday, while the remaining 142 seats will go to polls on April 29. Counting of votes is to take place on May 4.

‘BJP is planning a big conspiracy before the second phase of voting’

Meanwhile, O’Brien further alleged that the BJP, which is the ruling party at the Center and the principal opposition in the state, is hatching a “big conspiracy” ahead of the second phase.He claimed, “We have reliable information that the Home Minister has called a meeting with the heads of CBI, ED and NIA. In the next 100 to 150 hours, some serious or devious action has been planned before the second phase of elections.”The Rajya Sabha member said such incidents are likely to happen in the districts of South Bengal.O’Brien also commented that Union Home Minister Amit Shah was working like a “full-time BJP worker”. Shah, BJP’s chief strategist and former party president, had earlier said that he would spend 15 days in the state.The TMC MP also accused the BJP of deploying “disproportionate force” to defeat Chief Minister and party supremo Mamata Banerjee.“To defeat a woman you need 18 cabinet ministers, the prime minister, the home minister, the defense minister, several chief ministers, central agencies and thousands of security personnel,” he said.

Mumbai Indians gave the debut to young recruits Danish Malevar and Krish Bhagat in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2026 season against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Monday, April 20.

While the franchise continues Opener and former captain Rohit Sharma missed out due to hamstring injuryMI also dropped overseas opener Ryan Rickelton due to his poor form at the top.

Who is Danish Malevar?

A right-handed batsman, Danish hails from Vidarbha and is regarded as an emerging talent in the domestic circuit due to his consistency in red-ball cricket. MI had bought the 21-year-old player in the 2026 auction at a base price of Rs 30 lakh.

Malewar started his cricket journey at City Gymkhana Academy under the guidance of coaches Swaroopraj Srivastava and Nitin Gawande. Coaches immediately recognized his discipline and determination.

He was also a key contributor to Vidarbha’s title-winning Ranji Trophy 2024-25 campaign, scoring 783 runs at an average of 52 in nine matches. The batsman recorded two centuries and six half-centuries that season, and finished as his team’s third-highest run-scorer. Malewar played in the middle order for his state, usually at number 4.

The young batsman has represented Vidarbha since the Under-14 level and joined the team at the age of 12. Taking inspiration from idols Sachin Tendulkar and KL Rahul, Malewar is known for his strong work ethic. However, his aim is to develop his own batting identity by mastering every shot, from drives to flicks and sweeps.

The Danish, who came in to bat alongside veteran wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock, failed to make a mark after being blown away by Kagiso Rabada’s inswinger. Malewar was declared LBW after scoring just two runs in four balls.

Who is Krishna Bhagat?

Krish, who was a replacement for Atharva Ankolekar at the start of the season, is a bowling all-rounder from Punjab. He has been a part of the Mumbai Indians trials for the last two years, played for the Reliance team in the DY Patil T20 Cup 2026 and served as a supporting bowler during the pre-season.

“Krish, who was part of the supporting bowlers, really impressed us. He came into the team three days ago and today he is having the time of his life,” captain Hardik Pandya said during the toss.

The 21-year-old right-handed all-rounder brings versatility as a right-arm fast bowler and can also contribute with the bat lower down the order.

“Kriss has consistently impressed the coaching staff with his dedication, work ethic and quality in every session and practice game for Mumbai Indians. His commitment and development in domestic cricket and practice sessions for Mumbai Indians this season has earned him this well-deserved opportunity to transition into the main team,” the franchise said in a brief statement.

The young all-rounder is likely to be used in the middle overs, while the premier pace bowlers are struggling to make breakthroughs.
