SAN DIEGO — A deported U.S. Army veteran has been granted U.S. citizenship, a move made possible by California Gov. Barajas, 40, is founder and director of Deported Veterans Support House, which provides housing and other services in Tijuana, Mexico. Brown removed a major obstacle to citizenship by pardoning him last year, noting his distinguished military service and advocacy work. He returned to the United States and was deported again in 2010 after police stopped him for a traffic infraction. The American Civil Liberties Union said Barajas is the second deported veteran pardoned by Brown to be allowed to return to the United States.
