Former Fort Carson Iraq war veteran gives up the fight to stay in the US

  • Veteran Jose Barco, who served two tours in Iraq, is facing deportation after spending 15 years in prison for a felony conviction and has decided not to appeal his case, stating he had only a 2% chance of winning.
  • Barco expressed his preference to be sent to Venezuela, saying, 'Send me to a country that will accept me since my country doesn't.'
  • Barco's immigration papers went missing while he served in the Army, which led to his current situation with U.S. Immigration Customs Enforcement.
  • A fellow soldier noted that Barco seemed to have 'no more left in him from behind bars' after his lengthy struggle with his immigration status.
