Biden administration unveils process to allow deported veterans to return to the U.S.

"The Biden administration on Friday announced it is formalizing a new process to allow immigrants who served in the U.S. military and were later deported to return to the country legally.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas ordered the nation's immigration agencies to craft a "rigorous, systematic approach" to review the cases of immigrants whose deportations "failed to live up to our highest values."

"Together with our partner the Department of Veterans Affairs, we are committed to bringing back military service members, veterans, and their immediate family members who were unjustly removed and ensuring they receive the benefits to which they may be entitled," Mayorkas said in a statement. "Today we are taking important steps to make that a reality."


In a memo sent to Mayorkas on Friday and obtained by CBS News, top DHS immigration officials said they would use prosecutorial discretion and "other legal authorities" to facilitate the return of eligible veterans and immediate family members of U.S. service members.

I think instead we should deport the GOP as they are all beholding to Russia.

Let them return to the country that they honor.

Nice Choice.

Only he would be the asshole who grabbed a little kid and jumped on one of the rescue boats.
