Tracking Immigrant Veterans: Ensuring Military Service is Recognized in Immigration Cases.

This law requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to identify and flag every non-citizen who is serving or has served in the U.S. Armed Forces when they apply for immigration benefits or face deportation proceedings. The goal is to ensure their military service is properly tracked and considered during their immigration process. Crucially, this information cannot be used to remove the veteran from the country.
Key points
DHS must identify and annotate immigration records for non-citizens who have served in the U.S. military (active duty or reserve status).
Information gathered about military service cannot be used as a basis for deporting the veteran, providing legal protection.
