<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nU.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement reports that they handed US Army veteran Miguel Perez to Mexican authorities according to Tuscon News Now<\/a>. They report that Perez completed two tours in Afghanistan while he served in the Army. Then he delivered two pounds of cocaine to a federal agent which caused ICE to reject his application for citizenship and prompted them to deport his ass because he did not show \u201cgood moral character\u201d. So Senator Tammy Duckworth has taken up his cause;<\/p>\n Perez, his family and supporters, who include Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-IL, had argued that his wartime service to the country had earned him the right to stay in the U.S. and to receive mental health treatment for the PTSD and substance abuse. She sent a letter to Homeland Security asking the Trump administration to review his case.<\/p>\n “This case is a tragic example of what can happen when national immigration policies are based more in hate than on logic and ICE doesn’t feel accountable to anyone,” Duckworth said in a statement following reports of Perez’s deportation. “At the very least, Miguel should have been able to exhaust all of his legal options before being rushed out of the country under a shroud of secrecy.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I don’t think that Duckworth would have supported Perez if he’d been deported a few years ago. Dude was trafficking in cocaine, thousands of veterans who suffer from PTSD didn’t try to sell drugs to federal agents. <\/p>\n
