Deployed Inside the United States: The Military Waits for the Migrant Caravan
Associated Press: U.S. Army Quietly Discharging Immigrant Recruits
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Growing up in eastern China, Panshu Zhao fell in love with America. He read the Bible his parents gave him, watched Hollywood movies and studied the ideals of democracy. He jumped at the chance to attend graduate school at Texas A&M University. In 2016, Zhao enlisted in the U.S. Army as part of a special recruitment program offering immigrants in the country legally a path to citizenship. Now, he is one of the dozens of immigrant recruits and reservists struggling with abrupt, often unexplained military discharges and canceled contracts.
U.S. Army kills contracts for hundreds of immigrant recruits. Some face deportation.
U.S. Army recruiters have abruptly canceled enlistment contracts for hundreds of foreign-born military recruits since last week, upending their lives and potentially exposing many to deportation, according to several affected recruits and former military officials familiar with their situation. I feel devastated. The Army was my only hope, said an Indonesian-born recruit at risk of deportation.
