The U.S. has been deporting veterans for decades. The Unified U.S. Deported Veterans office in Tijuana has been fighting to repatriate vets, some of whom have been stuck in Mexico and other countries for many years. These men and women served in the U.S. military, got into trouble later and were deported when their immigration status was discovered. Some have said they were misled by recruiters as far as military service being a path to citizenship. Unified U.S. Deported Veterans has had success in recent years fighting for returns to the U.S., but others have died in Mexico before getting that chance. Here is their website, and they are active on Facebook as well. https://www.uusdepvets.org/

Thank you for this! Will you make this summary/review of recent immigration news a regular feature? Very useful to see some articles I missed.

I sure will! Feedback like this helps me know what to prioritize, so if you find this beneficial, I’ll absolutely continue it. I do it for myself anyway, so it’s a very easy lift. If there are others that also like this, please chime in.
