A US Navy sailor's father was arrested during a vehicle stop and later released from custody. He is a 48-year-old man with a work permit and Social Security number. His family reports he has been in the country for nearly 20 years and has an asylum case pending.

He was taken into custody by agents over the weekend. The man's son is currently on a record-setting deployment.

Further details about the arrest and release are available from the source, including a statement from the Department of Homeland Security.
