By TARA COPP | McClatchy Washington Bureau | Published: February 8, 2021 WASHINGTON (Tribune News Service) President Joe Biden will review the deportations of veterans and military family members that occurred under the stricter immigration enforcement policies of former President Donald Trump, a White House official told McClatchy. The review is part of Biden’s broader effort to undo some of Trump’s immigration policies. For service members and veterans, Trump’s stricter policies at times led to immigrant soldiers or veterans having their naturalization applications denied at a higher rate than civilians not in the military, although by mid-2020 military naturalization approval rates had improved. Those policies also led to deportations of some veterans or family members of currently serving military personnel.
