Hicksville Army reservist concerned about deportation

An immigrant from India, Thendral Amudhu Chinnannan, had hoped his service as a Tamil language expert in the Army Reserve would spare him from deportation. Changes in immigration rules being contemplated by the Trump administration may end in deportations for noncitizens like the Hicksville resident, who have been shielded by a DACA-like program that pertains to military personnel, veterans, and their families.
