QatarBenito Miranda Hernandez, a U.S. Navy veteran who served during the Iraq War, is facing deportation despite having completed a drug-related sentence and obtaining a green card. Brought to the U.S. as a child from Mexico, Hernandez believed his military service would lead to citizenship. However, under the Trump administration, he was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) while waiting for his mother to pick him up.
