EL PASO, Texas -- The League of United Latin American Citizen's held a press conference discussing their initiative to bring back deported veterans.

Deported veterans met via zoom with local veteran group leaders from the Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Department of Homeland Security. They discussed President Biden's programs available to assist deported veterans and their families.

Back in July 2021 DHS and VA leaders announced the initiative. “The Department of Homeland Security recognizes the profound commitment and sacrifice that service members and their families have made to the United States of America,” said Secretary Mayorkas. “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."
