Proud of our Immigration & Deportation Division for working with @LGBTQ_Military and @Servicewomen on this amicus brief filed with the 9th Circuit. @CenterForLaw

[Rep. Gil Cisneros @RepGilCisneros]

It’s unconscionable for the administration to penalize our active duty servicemembers for committing to serve overseas. Denying their children citizenship of the country they choose to serve is shameful and a discredit to their sacrifices. https://t.co/fHZwlQ9i19

[Modern Military Association of America (MMAA) @LGBTQ_Military]

MMAA is proud to join w/ @CenterForLaw, @Servicewomen, & the Hon. Gordon O. Tanner in urging the court to side w/ the @ACLU and legal permanent residents who want to enlist in the #military but are being severely delayed by the Trump-Pence administration. https://t.co/HoCWCZoNBk

Digital sexual violence can create the same lasting psychological effects on victims as “face-to-face” sexual trauma can. Read @Dr_Zaleski’s Sound Off article about revenge porn in the #military, its impact on victims, and the DOD's response. https://t.co/BPN6VH6W02

[Center for Law and Military Policy @CenterForLaw]

Health concerns in #military should always be taken seriously, we cant ensure that they will be until the #FeresDoctrine is overturned. Mil doctors and leadership need financial consequences for malpractice so providing care of the highest standard becomes a priority for the DoD.

Thomas’ health concerns were responded to with hernia diagnoses, prescriptions for Ibuprofen, and discharge from the Army. Two years of misdiagnoses and the failure to perform additional tests allowed cancer to spread all over his body.

"It's a sad reality that some of the nation's wounded warriors with PTSD meet their worst ends, not in combat, but when they return home." Our latest Sound Off article covers some of the challenges for #veterans in need of VA medical and mental health care.https://t.co/O2yeKXryqU

[Center for Law and Military Policy @CenterForLaw]

Every other American citizen can bring cases of medical malpractice, sexual assault, and other injuries to civil court. There is no justifiable reason that those who defend our country should be denied this right. #FeresDoctrine https://t.co/4qU4ecafTL

[Center for Law and Military Policy @CenterForLaw]

There are numerous ways lawmakers and govt agencies can act to protect #veterans at risk of #deportation. CLMP policy analyst Matthew Lippold proposes administrative, state-level, and Congressional solutions that would reduce the impact of vet deportation. https://t.co/rqHsfo99tn

[Center for Law and Military Policy @CenterForLaw]

HUD-VASH helped cut vet homelessness in half over the past decade. Budget cuts to the program for the FY 2019 will certainly have consequences for #veterans in need of housing. Learn more about HUD-VASH & its impact in our article written by Chris Craft. https://t.co/hQIobno9l0

In 2006, Congress removed the statute of limitations for military rape cases. Now, the solicitor general is petitioning to make sure the military follows its own laws. The status quo intimidates survivors of military sexual trauma into staying silent. https://t.co/3KLVUIJ3PH

[Center for Law and Military Policy @CenterForLaw]

Service members in Texas live in mold-infested facilities and the military only sent inspectors once pictures of the conditions were posted online. Protecting our troops means ensuring safe living conditions on bases, not just supporting them in combat. https://t.co/D7TMVxd5rp

[Center for Law and Military Policy @CenterForLaw]

In our latest Sound Off article, policy analyst Matthew Lippold discusses immigration policies that are harming the #veteran community, covering the various reasons that #veterans are being deported from the country they fought to protect. #military https://t.co/1uh2TXOTnm

Sgt. 1st Class Richard Stayskal is fighting a fight he didn't sign up for. He has terminal cancer since Army doctors didn't notify him of a spot on his lung. He can't sue and will not receive compensation. Yet another injustice caused by the #FeresDoctrine https://t.co/CSTxoBjgCF

[Center for Women Veterans @VAWomenVets]

#VAResearchInAction: Studies by the #VA Women's Health Research Network show that #WomenVeterans are often subject to harassment at VA facilities and are now developing new evidence-based strategies to end gender-based harassment. @vahsrd #VAResearch

[Center for Law and Military Policy @CenterForLaw]

For medical contractors working at the VA, the statute of limitation for malpractice suits is very short. Rep. Mark Meadows introduced a bill former Marine Brian Tally fought for that would end this exemption that strips veterans of their legal rights. https://t.co/4y9b9ltfS2

[Center for Law and Military Policy @CenterForLaw]

Please help this veteran who served in the Marine Corps for 7 years by calling or emailing the CBP San Ysidro Port Director to demand that Roman be paroled in for his naturalization interview to become a US citizen for the country he defended! [phone]

Spotted: CLMP interns at the @ocbarca Veterans & Military Committee meeting in Newport Beach!

VetCom is a fantastic group of lawyers and service providers who get together monthly to discuss legal issues and events facing the #military and #veteran community.

[Center for Law and Military Policy @CenterForLaw]

It’s outrageous that civilians, military family members, and veterans can sue for #medicalmalpractice but those serving our country in uniform cannot. Our service members deserve the same legal rights that everyone else has.

[Jackie Speier @RepSpeier]

SFC Stayskal was diagnosed improperly by military medical providers & now has terminal lung cancer. Despite this injustice he continues to serve w/his fellow soldiers & fight valiantly for the benefit of his wife, 2 young daughters & all servicemembers. https://t.co/Kb0Nwi5YwJ
