> Here’s what I don’t get. He was mentioned as being caught in a sweep of Iraqis and he was deported to Iraq. Yet he was born in Greece and never set foot in Iraq before ICE put him there. If anything, wouldn’t he be Greek and should have been deported to Greece if anywhere? Did he not ever have Greek citizenship due to being born there?

Greece doesn’t recognized birth-right citizenship, so even though he was born there, the only actual citizenship he could claim was Iraqi.
