While the Democrat congressional members are trying to push the narrative that veterans in Americans are being deported, they don’t tell the whole story. Again, cleaning up their mess. If lawmakers want to change how non-citizen veterans are handled, then PASS A LAW. If they want to fix the naturalization failures that leave service members vulnerable, DO YOUR JOB. The hysteria doesn’t match the facts. Sae Joon Park was not dragged out of his home in handcuffs. There was no midnight raid. There was no family ripped apart on camera. He CHOSE to self-deport. Park was born in South Korea, came to the U.S. as a child, later enlisted in the U.S. Army, and earned a Purple Heart after being wounded in combat. That part matters. His service matters. But here’s the part Congress keeps skipping over while they put on a performance for the cameras. He was not a U.S. citizen. He had drug possession convictions. Those convictions triggered immigration consequences under the law that has existed for decades. ICE didn’t storm in. DHS didn’t haul him away. He was told he would be detained unless he left voluntarily and at that time, he made the decision to self-deport. That’s not cruelty. That’s the law. Yet here we are watching members of Congress grill DHS Secretary Kristi Noem like she personally cuffed a wounded veteran and shoved him onto a plane. Absolute nonsense. Stop gaslighting and lying to the American people and pretending this was some rogue ICE kidnapping. Facts still matter. Truth still matters. And political theater doesn’t change reality, no matter how loud the hearing gets.
