 Navy did you sevre or were just a brat?

Yes, non-citizen U.S. military veterans, primarily legal permanent residents (green card holders), can be and have been deported, often due to criminal convictions, including for seemingly minor offenses, under strict 1996 immigration laws that removed judicial discretion, despite their service and eligibility for citizenship, leading to ongoing advocacy for repatriation and policy changes. 

Why Veterans Face Deportation:  https://www.google.com/search?q=military+vetrans+deported&oq=military+vetrans+deported&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i13i131i433i512j0i22i30l2j0i10i22i30j0i22i30l3.31225j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

• Non-Citizen Status: They are Lawful Permanent Residents (LPRs) who never naturalized to become U.S. citizens, a process that can be difficult.
• Criminal Convictions: A wide range of criminal offenses, expanded by the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA), can trigger mandatory deportation, even for non-violent misdemeanors or old offenses.
• Lack of Discretion: The law often removes immigration judges' ability to consider military service or personal circumstances, making deportation a harsher reality, notes from the National Institutes of Health and Global Migration Center indicate. 

Key Factors & Impact:

• 1996 Laws (IIRIRA): These laws significantly expanded "aggravated felonies" and made deportation mandatory for many non-citizens, including veterans.
• PTSD & Substance Abuse: Many deported veterans struggled with post-service mental health issues like PTSD, leading to offenses that result in deportation.
• Lack of Data: The government doesn't track deported veterans, so exact numbers are unknown, but estimates suggest thousands have been deported.
• Failed Naturalization: Many deported veterans had applied for citizenship but were denied or hadn't completed the process, meaning they'd still be in the U.S. if they were citizens. 

Recent Developments:

• Advocacy & Repatriation: Groups like Immigrant Defenders Law Center (ImmDef) work to bring deported veterans back, with new initiatives prioritizing this.
• Congressional Scrutiny: Congress is investigating the issue, with recent hearings involving Homeland Security officials addressing specific cases, like that of a Purple Heart recipient deported to Korea. 

In essence, while serving in the U.S. military can provide an expedited path to citizenship, failure to complete it leaves non-citizen veterans vulnerable to deportation for criminal issues, a situation many advocate are working to change.

Kristi Noem Testifies DHS Hasn't Deported Any Veterans. Seconds Later, a Kicked-Out War Hero Calls into the Hearing

• Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem was questioned about a Purple Heart veteran deported by ICE during a Dec. 11 hearing
• Rep. Seth Magaziner brought the veteran, Sae Joon Park, to the hearing over Zoom after he was deported to Korea earlier this year
• Magaziner accused Noem of not knowing "the difference between the good guys and the bad guys"

I was a Navybrat...for 22 years that my dad served, my brother served in Vietnam and My Grandfather on my dad's side served. Families of the military weigh that cost too...being without a parent ( or parents) for long periods of time.

The point was and still is...Trump and his administration are NOT deporting veterans .

I think service should help to fasttrack citizenship.

No, it's not "debunked". Not even with this one wounded veteran, and Park is hardly the only one of the at least several hundred non-citizen US military veterans who have already been deported (up to 10,000 by some estimates), or the 94,000 who are at risk of being deported, after Trump rescinded Biden's Executive Order that had protected military veterans.

Mass deportations ensnare immigrant service members, veterans

 Or the much larger number of their minor children, other dependents, and immediate family members. Like Narciso Barranco, the father of three US Marines, who was attacked and brutally beaten by ICE agents after living here peacefully and productively as a landscaper for 30 years without committing any crimes.

Father of 3 Marines who was forcibly detained by immigration agents at landscaping job speaks out

Bongino tries to make it sound like "self-deportation" is a purely voluntary decision. In fact, Park was warned by local ICE officials that he was to be rounded up and forcibly deported after spending an unknown period of time in "extended detention" unless he "self-deported" immediately.

As for his "crimes", why do MAGAs consider it "patriotic" for white people to carry arms in public, but "criminal" when non-whites do it?

His addiction to cocaine was a result of his wounds and PSTD from serving in the US Army in the Panamanian capture of Manuel Noriega. Unfortunately, the action and his being shot twice was not considered "combat" for reasons of naturalization, which prioritizes it for one year of service (for which he fell just short because of his wounding and subsequent honorable discharge) or for one day in combat.

His subsequent arrest for possession of a small amount of cocaine was indeed a federal "crime" -- just as yours has been every time you've ever purchased, transferred, or possessed the "dangerous narcotic" marijuana, regardless of what Colorado and Oklahoma have done -- but it's really obscene for the government to treat addiction as anything but a disease.

Purple Heart Army veteran self-deports after nearly 50 years in the U.S.

He self deported...he was not rounded up by ice. So stop.

[Lobo]

I don't suppose you read my post. He "self-deported" only after being told by ICE that they were about to round him up and deport him by force, but with the added impetus of having to spend an unknown period of time locked away in "extended detention" in one of those "Alligator Alcatraz"-type ICE concentration camps.

That's a hell of a "choice", not to mention a "thanks" for nearly losing his life defending America, something few native-born US citizens do, and the only country he's known since he was 7 years old.

I guess Commander In Chief Shinbones was right to call people who risk their lives for their country "SUCKERS" and "LOSERS"...

The trouble with me a construction brat the moves were the worst and then my mom and I went out on our own going from being well off compared too others in the trailor court to second rate.

It was not all bad I had some great friends that took my mind off my worries.

The worst part we would get settled in and then my mother was a the grass is greener then we would up and move.

[Navy]

He did the right thing. He left.

[Navy]

As any military brat know...you get moved around alot. It maid me learn to easily make knew friends and I still to this day am outgoing and have no problem striking up conversations with complete strangers. It's one of the best life lessons I've been blessed to learn. I'm also naturally a people person, extrovert .
