Veteran Fights to Prevent Wife’s Deportation

“Retired staff sergeant Wilmer Trujillo served roughly 20 years in the U.S. Army and the Texas National Guard, with deployments and assignments in Afghanistan, Iraq and South Korea,” CBS News reports.

“But Trujillo says he is now facing the most difficult battle of his life, as he implores the government he began serving in uniform after high school to not deport his wife.”

Said Trujillo: “It breaks me because the country I worked my entire life for is ripping my family apart, and taking away my wife. It makes me sick to my stomach.”
