HISTORY

The story of Unified U.S. Deported Veterans began with a profound realization of the struggles faced by U.S. veterans who, despite their service, were deported due to legal challenges and changes in immigration policy. These men and women, who had once proudly worn the uniform and defended the freedoms of the United States, found themselves separated from their families, communities, and the country they had served.

In response to this injustice, a group of committed individuals came together to form Unified U.S. Deported Veterans. Their mission was clear: to provide support, advocacy, and resources to deported veterans, ensuring that they were not forgotten and that their sacrifices were recognized.

​

The Playas Barracks serves as the heart of this mission. Located in Tijuana, a border city that many deported veterans now call home, the Resource Center offers a range of services. These include legal assistance, mental health support, access to medical care, and help with navigating the complex process of seeking a return to the United States. It also provides a sense of community and belonging, where veterans can connect with others who understand their unique challenges.

​

Unified U.S. Deported Veterans continues to fight for the rights of deported veterans, advocating for changes in U.S. policy that would allow them to return to the country they served. The organization works tirelessly to ensure that these veterans are not left behind and that their stories are heard.

Through the Playas Barracks and other efforts, Unified U.S. Deported Veterans embodies the principle of leaving no one behind, standing as a beacon of hope and justice for those who have given so much yet received so little in return.
