Undocumented dad of U.S. military veteran arrested by ICE, faces deportation – By Gabe Ortiz / June 2 2017

The father of a U.S. military veteran is facing possible deportation after he was arrested by ICE agents at home, according to a Spanish-language Univision 45 Houston report. Israel Solano, who served a tour in Afghanistan, said he was awakened by an early morning call from his father, Francisco, telling him to “take care of the family” and their small business installing floors.

“What are you talking about?” a confused Israel asked. Francisco responded that “immigration is outside my house, I love you,” and hung up. “I couldn’t say anything else,” Israel told Univision. “That’s the last time I heard from him.”

According to the family’s attorney, Francisco has a deportation order from ten years ago for using a fake Social Security number. This is oftentimes the only way undocumented immigrants are able to work and support their families. Payroll taxes deducted from these paychecks still go to the federal government, and because these workers are undocumented, they never get to access those Social Security dollars.
