KPFA Radio’s “The War Comes Home” series tells the story of Philippe Louis Jean, an Iraq war veteran whom the U.S. government shamefully tried to deport — once he came home. Louis Jean had a green card, but a previous adultery charge was enough for the government to throw him in prison for 10 months.
