Rebecca Beitsch reports for The Hill:
The Biden administration plans to track down veterans who have been deported as part of an effort to provide a pathway to citizenship along with access to Veterans Affairs benefits.
A late Friday announcement from the Department of Homeland Security said the move is part of a broader plan to “avoid future unjust removals” of noncitizen military service members, many of whom are eligible to naturalize due to their military service.
“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,” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a release.
The effort directs a trio of DHS agencies — U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) — to “review the cases of individuals whose removals failed to live up to our highest values.”
