What does it mean to be American?

Is it where you were born…
or what you were willing to bleed for?

In this episode of Rise & Grind Radio 3.0, we shine a hard light on a story that should stop everyone in their tracks:

➡️ U.S. military veterans — including a Purple Heart combat veteran — being deported
➡️ Veterans’ families jailed and torn apart
➡️ A congressional hearing where officials said “this doesn’t happen” — until a veteran appeared live on screen from another country

My family’s been here since the 1700s.
We weren’t here first.
We’re immigrants too.

If your family didn’t arrive in the 1400s or 1500s, this conversation matters to you.

This isn’t left vs right.
This isn’t red vs blue.

This is power vs people,
paperwork vs humanity,
and what happens when a system forgets the very people who served it.

We’re talking:
• Deportation of combat veterans
• PTSD, addiction, and punishment instead of support
• Immigration enforcement with no discretion
• Why silence is how this keeps happening

If you’re a veteran, a veteran’s spouse, or someone quietly affected by immigration status — this episode is for you.
