A veteran who served five years in the U.S. Marine Corps and two tours in Iraq is facing imminent deportation to El Salvador—a country he left when he was 3 years old—over felony convictions, despite being a legal permanent resident.
A veteran who served five years in the U.S. Marine Corps and two tours in Iraq is facing imminent deportation to El Salvador -- a country he left when he was 3 years old -- over felony convictions despite being a legal permanent resident.
It is unclear why his deportation to El Salvador was interrupted, Dudzic said. ICE did not immediately confirm those details to ABC News. Segovia-Benitez suffered a traumatic brain injury in December 2003 after an explosion occurred near his vehicle, his immigration attorney, Wayne Spindler, told ABC News. He returned to the U.S. in July 2004 and was honorably discharged in September of that year, his representatives said.
A judge ordered Segovia-Benitez to be removed to El Salvador in October 2018. According to an ICE official, his"extensive criminal history," which includes"an aggravated felony," allows for him to be removed, despite his military service and length of time he resided in the U.S., under the Immigration and Nationality Act.
And in 1996,"Congress eliminated all forms of discretionary relief for people with convictions falling within the expanded aggravated felony definition," the ACLU said.
