Immigrant Vets Can Face Deportation

"When Rohan Coombs joined the U.S. Marine Corps, he never thought he would one day be locked up in an immigration detention center and facing deportation from the nation he had vowed to defend.

Mr. Coombs, 43, born in Jamaica, immigrated to the United States legally as a child with his family. He signed up to serve his adopted nation for six years, first in Japan and the Philippines, then in the Persian Gulf during the first war with Iraq."
