Re: “Letter to the editor: Military veterans and ICE are not compatible” (March 26):
I’m another Vietnam veteran who concurs with Robert “Sam” Kelley that combining an ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) office with a veterans health care facility is a bad idea – although for different reasons.
Since 2017, 92 veterans who served honorably in the U.S. Armed Forces have been deported to their countries of origin. According to ICE, 94,000 non-citizen veterans reside in our country. All of them are eligible for Veterans Affairs benefits. Many, of course, suffer from war wounds and post-traumatic stress disorder.
