Anslem Ifill is a legal permanent resident who has lived in the US for 25 years—it is his home. So much so that he put his own life at risk to serve the country for eight years with the U.S Army. Now he faces deportation. Anslem asks, “How can you deport individuals who risk their lives for the very beliefs and freedoms of this country?”

This is one of many stories of Army Vets facing deportation. They fight for their country and get nothing in return. Unfair immigration laws are denying basic due process to immigrants that live in the United States, which affect all immigrants: legal permanent residents, asylum seekers, students and undocumented people.

Unfair immigration laws:

• Deny a fair day in court and deport people without a hearing

• Tie judges’ hands and prevent them from considering the circumstances of each individual case

• Impose unjust punishment

• Hold immigrants in detention indefinitely in inhumane conditions
