Hector Barajas-Varela, a deported U.S. Army veteran, right, celebrates with Norma Chavez-Peterson, executive director of the ACLU of San Diego and Imperial counties, after Barajas-Varela was delivered an announcement granting his American citizenship in Tijuana, Mexico, Thursday, March 29, 2018. Barajas came to the United States from Mexico when he was 7 years old and, after graduating high school, served in the U.S. Army from 1995 to 2001, when he was honorably discharged, according to a federal lawsuit filed in December seeking citizenship. He was a member of the 82nd Airborne Division and received several military accolades.
