An army veteran and Purple Heart recipient who served two tours in Iraq was deported on Friday morning from an immigration detention facility in Florence, Arizona.

Arizona state representative Raquel Terán told Fox 10 Phoenix that Jose Barco, a Venezuelan-born veteran whose family fled Cuba as refugees, was deported at 4am from Arizona.

Barco’s family has still not received confirmation of Jose’s current location as of Friday evening.

“We have not received word from Jose or from anyone else with firsthand knowledge that he has actually arrived in Nogales.

We only have the official statement from ICE to go on, but no confirmation of Jose’s current location,” his family said in a statement.

Immigration enforcement told Fox 10 that Barco was deported to Nogales in Mexico.

Barco was injured by an improvised explosive device during one of his deployments, and received a Purple Heart for his service in combat. »
