War veteran faces deportation

AN INJURED US veteran, who served two tours of duty in Afghanistan, faces deportation to Mexico after a Chicago judge ordered his deportation.

“I feel terrible because my son right now is a soldier with no nation – no Mexico, no USA… but he fought for this country, not for Mexico; now he’s not a national,” Perez’s mother, Esperanza Perez, said after the judgment. Miguel Perez jr was taken to Chicago when he was 8 years old, later becoming a permanent resident and joining the army.
