When Alex Murillo was released at the U.S.-Mexico border right outside of Tijuana in 2011, he was given the money on his books, a cup of soup and was allowed to make a single phone call.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey released me like a baboon into the wild,\u201d said Murillo, 35.<\/p>\n

His deportation was scheduled at noon, yet it was nearly midnight when he crossed into his country of birth and realized that he had nowhere to go.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Navy veteran felt abandoned by the government for which he had risked his life for nearly four years, and that was now forcing him to leave behind his five children.<\/p>\n

Murillo is one of thousands of veterans who have been charged with a crime and deported. There are no solid figures on how many veterans currently share Murillo\u2019s predicament, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) does not provide numbers.<\/p>\n

It is estimated that about 70,000 residents served in the U.S. military between 1999 and 2008. Deported veterans are not eligible for VA Benefits.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe faces that are being deported aren\u2019t just brown or Latino\u2014they are deporting them all over the world,\u201d said Amos Gregory, a San Francisco-based artist, activist and U.S. Navy veteran. \u201cThey are broke, in a foreign land, traumatized\u2014and of course they have criminal records.\u201d<\/p>\n

Growing up in a war zone<\/strong><\/p>\n

Along with a group of about 12 deported veterans currently living near the border, Gregory designed a mural to draw attention to the cause.<\/p>\n

Painted on the border fence, it depicts an upside down image of the American flag\u2014a universal sign of distress. The names of deported veterans are being added to the mural.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of these deported veterans grew up in America\u2019s war zones: the streets. Many of them saw the military as a way out, only to be sent into a real war,\u201d said Gregory, explaining that the veterans\u2019 criminal histories are often affected by Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and are substance abuse issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen they come back, they are suffering from their experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n

Murillo joined the Navy in 1996 after high school, hoping to be exposed to things greater than the gang violence that he grew up with in his neighborhood in Phoenix, AZ. With his first son, Alex Jr., on the way, Murillo was also facing the responsibility of providing for his new family.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a thing for getting out and seeing the world a little bit,\u201d said Murillo. \u201cI wanted to do something good. I wanted to get some school out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

After having served most of his time, the airframes and hydraulics mechanic returned home from a six-month deployment on an aircraft carrier to a dissolving marriage.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe military is a drinking community, everybody around me drank. When I found out my marriage was ending, I got into trouble,\u201d said Murillo, who was kicked out of the Navy in 2000 for bad conduct, shortly before his enlistment was up. \u201cI was already out the door, and after being so good for so long\u2014that really hurt. What I really needed at the time was some help.\u201d<\/p>\n

Murillo faced difficulties integrating into life after the military. Unable to pay child support, he said desperation forced him to take a job that he should not have taken. He said he was busted with a substantial amount of Marijuana and sentenced to three years in federal prison. It was at this point that he realized that he did not have U.S. citizenship.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I joined the navy, I thought getting your citizenship was automatic. Putting on that uniform meant something to me\u2014it should mean something,\u201d said Murillo. \u201cAll of those guys, I hear that they were told that if they take that oath they will be Americans. There was no other country to think about.\u201d<\/p>\n

Broken promises<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fabian Rebolledo dropped out of college and signed up for the Army after a recruiter promised him citizenship following his enlistment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was doing everything I could to get in,\u201d said Rebolledo, who immigrated to the U.S. at the age of 13 from Mexico. \u201cThey never mentioned to me that there are certain processes to follow while in the military to obtain citizenship.\u201d<\/p>\n

After serving in Kosovo in 1999, the paratrooper completed his enlistment in 2000, believing that he was already a U.S. citizen. Four years later, Rebolledo received a letter in the mail requiring renewal of his resident card.<\/p>\n

Rebolledo had a run-in with the law after being charged with fraud for cashing a $750 check, but fought the case and was given probation. He was later detained and deported for driving with a suspended license.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m originally from Mexico, but I don\u2019t know my country,\u201d said Rebolledo, who was forced to sleep on the streets of Tijuana for three days following his deportation. \u201cI felt humiliated by the United States for throwing me out and letting me be on the streets like a real criminal\u2014I\u2019m not a criminal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Veterans Support House offers refuge<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rebolledo and Murillo have not given up on the hope of one day returning to the United States. In the meantime, they organized in a support group called Banished Veterans Support Group, founded by deported Army veteran Hector Barajas.<\/p>\n

The group operates out of a two-bedroom apartment, called the U.S. Deported Veterans Support House, located in Rosarito, Mexico. They support deported veterans by communicating with their families, picking them up at the border, and providing them with shelter, food, and clothing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recently found a veteran living in the streets\u2014he was sleeping in an empty parking lot,\u201d said Rebolledo. \u201cWe brought him to the house. We don\u2019t want a single one of us to be living on the streets anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
