A national campaign "Honorably Discharged, Dishonorably Deported" is calling attention to the problem of discharged U.S. veterans being deported to another country after serving in the military, said city officials.
Experts will provide detailed analysis on this national dilemma at a press conference 9 a.m. Monday, in the Veterans Museum and Memorial Center on 2115 Park Blvd.
U.S. Congressman Juan Vargas will discuss possible legislative changes to address the problem.
Community leaders such as veterans, elected officials, along with business, labor and civil rights organizations have announced the launch to advocate for solutions, said city officials.
Attendees will include California Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez and Nathan Fletcher, former Assembly member and Marine veteran.
