"As is the case with many other green card-holding veterans, Perez, a father of two children who are U.S. citizens, mistakenly thought he became a U.S. citizen when he took an oath to protect the nation. Military superiors never offered to help him expedite his citizenship, he said."
What a bunch of bovine excrement. Bottom line - If you cannot abide by the possible punishment for an offense, don't do it - No Excuse.
"On the night of Nov. 26, 2008, while with that friend, Perez handed a laptop case containing cocaine to an undercover law enforcement officer. " JFC - How stupid can one be? TBI and PTSD are not excuses for this type of behavior.
One other thing - If the crime is serious enough, just because you become a naturalized citizen, does not mean that the government can not strip you of that citizenship and send you packing back to where ever you originated from, because they can and have.

This absurd story has been going on for some time. Here is a link to one of the earlier RP discussion threads on this individual - (December 2016): https://www.rallypoint.com/shared-links/deportation-of-chicago-army-vet-fought-despite-drug-conviction?loc=similar_main&pos=1&type=qrc
Here is the RP discussion thread from February 2017: https://www.rallypoint.com/shared-links/mexican-born-army-vet-facing-deportation-after-drug-related-conviction?loc=similar_main&pos=2&type=qrc
I say be done with it, apply the rules as outlined in law and policy. He is the one who broke faith with the American people, not the other way around. We (the American Citizen) owe this person nothing. Why should we (the American Citizen) have to pay for this individuals mistakes?

At least the current reports have stopped stretching the truth as much.
"Perez came to Chicago with his Mexican parents as a child, according to supports. He enlisted in the U.S. Army after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, and served two tours in Afghanistan with a special forces unit, supporters said." (November-December 2016)
Did he enlist before or after 9/11, whether that makes any difference at all?
And just because he was in an Airborne Artillery unit does not make him 'special forces.'
SSG William Bowen - In regards to your earlier statement on this thread about the Policy Manual, it is interesting that you stated the following in an earlier thread about this same individual and incident;
"Felony drug convictions are not good moral character, and he obviously was not well disposed to good order and happiness to he US."
(See the link abouve in this thread.)
