After Biden took office, his administration created a program that allows deported veterans to apply to return to the United States for humanitarian reasons. Since the program began, 120 deported veterans have returned to the United States, according to the Department of Homeland Security. He connected with other deported veterans to lobby American politicians to bring them back to the United States. He needed better health care and more money, but he said he couldn’t get it outside of the United States. Of the 120 deported veterans who have returned to the United States under Biden, 30 have become citizens, according to DHS.
