In 2019, a Government Accountability Office report revealed that from 2013 to 2018 ICE had not adhered to a policy requiring a service record review before deporting veterans and had not kept track of how many undocumented veterans have been detained and deported. Today we honor all of our veterans who fight for freedom. We also shine light on the many veterans who’s citizenship and livelihood present an ongoing battle. #VeteransDay

I have known EBALDC since the late 1980s when I was teaching some design studios with grad students from UC Berkeley and the University of Oregon...and were kind enough to give some of their time to the students as they explored mixed-use, higher density housing along that boulevard. The rest is history. - Mike Pyatok of Pyatok Architects #EBALDC45 For his full story and more in the 45 Stories for 45 Years project, visit ebaldc.org/category/45-stories
