But you understand that many veterans struggle with PTSD, many veterans struggle with substance abuse challenges.

This man took two bullets for our country.

You have broad authority, by the way, as Secretary, to issue humanitarian parole, to do deferred action.

Will you commit to at least looking at Mr. Park's case to see if you can help him find a pathway back to this country that he sacrificed so much for?

Madam Secretary, the man behind you, please stand up, sir.

His name is Jim Brown from Troy, Missouri.

He is a Navy combat veteran who served our country in the Gulf War.

He's married to a woman named Donna, who came to our country legally from Ireland when she was 11 years old.

She has lived here for 48 years.

Because of you, Jim's wife Donna has been in prison for the last four months.

She did not come here illegally, and she has never committed any crime other than writing two bad checks totaling $80 10 years ago.

She is currently in prison and facing deportation.

Ms.

Noem, will you thank Mr. Brown for his service to our country?

Now, what possible explanation can there be for locking up his wife for four months when she has committed no crime other than writing a couple of bad checks for $80?

You have broad discretion as the Secretary.

You can do all kinds of things, but you're choosing not to.

Will you commit, again, to just reviewing Donna's case and reuniting this combat veteran with his beloved wife, who also loves this country?

We share the same view.

When you look at the data right now, you look at the domestic terrorist threat that we're facing.
