Professor Gomez will present the complex and often harrowing journey of those who have served our country with honor, only to find themselves deported from the very nation they pledged to defend. As a US Army Veteran, Prof. Gomez will shed light on the lives of these deported veterans, examining the reasons behind their deportations, the challenges they face, and the ongoing efforts to address this pressing issue. We will also discuss the broader implications of our nation’s immigration policies and the role they play in shaping the lives of those who have served in the military.
