We cannot allow our veterans to be deported again.

Thanks to a years-long campaign, after decades of exile from the country to which they've pledged their lives, over 120 deported veterans have finally returned home to the U.S. But without pardons from President Biden, most of them will soon be at risk of deportation again.

One in three veterans have been arrested or jailed for crimes like substance use directly connected to their traumatic military service. Like everyone else, immigrant veterans serve their sentences after they are convicted of a crime. But unlike other veterans, immigrant veterans often face a second, life-long punishment: mandatory deportation.

Twenty-five repatriated veterans have asked President Biden for federal pardons to protect them from deportation and restore a pathway to citizenship. Join our veterans and their families and take action now.

What you should know:

Immigrants have served honorably in the military since our nation’s founding.
Immigrants serve not only honorably but exceptionally — 20% of all Congressional Medals of Honor recipients are immigrants.
Nearly every immigrant that served in the military in recent history was a Lawful Permanent Resident. Many were raised and attended school in the U.S.
Deported veterans are separated from their families, military benefits and healthcare they earned through their service.
Hundreds of deported veterans have been exiled to countries to which they have no ties.

Sign your name below demanding the Biden administration pardon these 25 veterans and honor our veterans’ service.

Your Message

Subject

Dear Sir/Madam:

Message

I respectfully urge you to press President Biden to grant the 25 federal pardon applications for veterans facing deportation again.

These veterans pledged their lives to the United States and served honorably in our military. Yet when they needed us most, we abandoned them to be deported from the U.S.

Each of these veterans served their time, faced deportation, and have lived law-abiding lives for decades. They should not continue to be punished. Now that they are finally back in the U.S. and thriving with their families, we cannot allow them to be deported again.

I urge you to support our nation’s veterans and press President Biden to grant these pardons.

Sincerely,

[First Name] [Last Name]

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.

Alternate Salutation

Most elected officials’ constituent email systems accept a very limited set of salutations. Please select the one you would most prefer.
