What the Evidence Shows
The claim asserts that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deported Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps Carlos Ruiz, marking a first in forcibly removing the nation's senior enlisted Marine mid-motivational speech. Breaking down the claim: 1) Carlos Ruiz is indeed the current Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps, having assumed the post on August 10, 2023, as confirmed by multiple official Marine Corps sources.marines.milmarines.milSergeant Major Carlos A. Ruiz
2) There is no credible or official report from government agencies, reputable news organizations, or military sources confirming any deportation or removal event involving him. 3) The only source mentioning such an event is from Duffel Blog,duffelblog.comduffelblog.comICE deports Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps which is a well-known satirical military news website that publishes fictional and humorous content. This strongly indicates the claim is fabricated for satire or humor rather than factual reporting.
Given the high-profile nature of the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps and the absence of any corroborating evidence from authoritative sources, this claim is false. No official military or government communication supports this event, and all legitimate sources portray Carlos Ruiz actively serving in his role.
