Shame

Every American should be ashamed of this.

A US Army veteran who served two tours in Afghanistan says he didn't realize he'd been deported to Mexico until it was too late to turn back.

Speaking from Tijuana Monday, Miguel Perez told reporters that he's feeling well physically, but is "very confused."

Perez was escorted across the US-Mexico border from Texas and handed over to Mexican authorities Friday, ICE said in a statement. Perez says a truck took him to an airport in Indiana. He was then flown to Brownsville, Texas, ICE said.

When he got off the plane, Perez said he arrived at a "place that looked like an office."

"I did not know it was already the bridge to enter the other side," he said, adding that he walked through a door that closed quickly behind him. "When I went back they told me everything is over."

"Although I am free, there is not much joy in being free," Perez, 39, said.

Perez had been in the agency's custody since 2016.  Link

Conservatives love to say that we're being hysterical when we compare certain actions of this Administration to the Nazis. But if you're going to do things the Nazis did, then you deserve the label.

The [World War I] veterans who remained in Germany, also initially released after arrests during the Kristallnacht, received no special treatment after this, being deported to concentration camps and murdered like other Jewish German citizens. The Nazis attempted to eradicate all evidence of Jewish soldiers fighting for Germany in World War I.  Link

Serve your country faithfully, get deported. Is America great yet?
