A monument honoring one of the most extraordinary acts of American courage in World War II has been left severely damaged, and the immigration history of the man accused of carrying out the attack is now drawing renewed scrutiny.
Authorities arrested a 27-year-old Mexican national after officers allegedly discovered him striking an Iwo Jima memorial near Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia.
The suspect, identified as Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano, reportedly received protection under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program during the Obama administration and obtained another approval under President Joe Biden.
