Marine combat veteran who served in Iraq facing deportation to El Salvador
“He is a soldier who put his life on the line to defend his country,” his mother said. "But when he returned from the war, he came back with problems."
Supporters of a Marine combat veteran who served in Iraq are calling on the California governor to help stop his imminent deportation to El Salvador, a country he left at 3 years old.
Jose Segovia Benitez, 38, served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1999-2004 and was deployed to Iraq, receiving multiple awards and decorations during his service, according to Marine and military records. His rib cage is tattooed with large Statue of Liberty.

When it comes to non-white people who came here as infants, there is a right way, a wrong way & the Trump way.
Anyone who opts to serve in combat should be given an automatic immigration pass.
