Barco has lived in the U.S. as he was four years old and served in the military, where he was awarded a purple heart. Despite applying for citizenship, his application was reportedly lost. In 2008, after opening fire on a house party, he was convicted of attempted murder for injuring a pregnant woman and initially sentenced to 52 years, later reduced to 40 years due to good behavior. <\/p>\n<p>Critics argue that media coverage around his impending deportation downplays his conviction. While emphasizing his military service and family situation,many reports fail to highlight the severity of his crime until much later in the narrative.The article critiques how outlets like Newsweek frame his story, suggesting that important context surrounding his criminal past is buried in favor of a more sympathetic portrayal. the author argues that an honest headline should reflect both his military service and his conviction, pushing back against the narrative that presents him solely as a victim of deportation.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>It took 17 paragraphs.<\/p>\n<p>Seventeen.

It doesn&rsquo;t say, noting that former Grand Junction, Colorado, Mayor Anna Stout, who is assisting his family, said that Barco &ldquo;is virtually stateless at this time, with his country of birth rejecting his admission and the country he shed blood for ordering him removed.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>So we know he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/illegal-alien-sentenced-prison-running-elaborate-prostitution-operation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">served a prison sentence<\/a>, which wasn&rsquo;t mentioned in the headline, but for what? Again, we&rsquo;re dragged through an explainer on &ldquo;Why It Matters&rdquo; (&ldquo;Although the administration says it is prioritizing individuals with criminal records or gang affiliations, some legal residents and non-criminal immigrants have also been detained and deported. &hellip; Mental illness is common among veterans and military personnel. A 2017 Rand Corporation analysis found that out of the 2.8 million service members deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, between 13 and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">20 percent experience posttraumatic stress disorder<\/a> (PTSD), 19 to 23 percent have a traumatic brain injury (TBI), and 44 percent have difficulty adjusting to civilian life&rdquo;) and then an explainer about Barco &mdash; but <em>not<\/em> the crime he committed.<\/p>\n<p>First, the fact that his dad fled to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/deportation-flights-venezuela-resume-trump-admin-plays-hardball\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Venezuela<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-cuba-suffers-another-massive-power-outage-leaving-millions-dark\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cuba<\/a> and then came to the United States when Barco was four. He had a wife and a daughter, joined the U.S. Army when he was younger, got deployed to Iraq in 2004, was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury later on, applied for citizenship, didn&rsquo;t get it.<\/p>\n<p>We go through three paragraphs about his citizenship struggle with his commanding officer, a paragraph about his discharge in 2008 &ldquo;with serious TBI symptoms,&rdquo; the regiment he served in, the fact it was featured in a PBS documentary, where he was stationed, pretty much everything but the guy&rsquo;s favorite color.<\/p>\n<p>And then, 17th and 18th paragraphs:<\/p>\n<p><em>On April 25, 2008, Barco opened fire on a house party crowd in Colorado Springs, striking a 19-year-old, who was five months pregnant at the time, in the leg, according to the Colorado Springs Gazette. He was convicted of two counts of attempted first-degree murder and one count of felony menacing and was sentenced to 52 years in prison. His sentence was later reduced to 40 years in 2014.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Barco served 15 years in prison in Colorado, Tia told Newsweek. She said he first served at Buena Vista Correctional Complex and then the last five years in &ldquo;an incentive program at CSP Colorado State Prison [Penitentiary].&rdquo;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Well, that&rsquo;s quite the detail to bury, now, isn&rsquo;t it?<\/p>\n<p>Please don&rsquo;t get me wrong, I don&rsquo;t intend to insinuate that Barco doesn&rsquo;t present an ethical quandary. Individuals who serve in the military <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/mainstream-media-reporter-skewers-aps-report-on-immigrants-discharged-from-military\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">generally get citizenship<\/a> if they apply, which Barco did; for whatever reason, his application was lost, and the insinuation is that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/vindmans-campaign-hit-with-multiple-fec-complaints\/\" title=\"Vindman&#039;s Campaign Hit with Multiple FEC Complaints\">man wasn&#038;rsquo<\/a>;t mentally well enough to follow up on it on his own with his TBI. This does present an issue outside of the norm when it comes to individuals being deported for felony convictions.<\/p>\n<p>However, it&rsquo;s critical to note that he&rsquo;s&nbsp;<em>still being deported for a felony conviction for attempted murder <\/em>and that he is, for whatever reason,&nbsp;<em>not an American citizen<\/em> &mdash; with that first italicized detail being shouted from rooftops no matter what your outlet is.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I get it, Newsweek mentioned up front that he served 15 years in the slammer, which indicates something serious. You don&rsquo;t get a decade and a half behind bars for unpaid parking tickets or a DUI. However, to not mention&nbsp;<em>why<\/em> he was behind bars and then to slip it in almost a dozen-and-a-half paragraphs into the story, almost in a mumble, is editorial malfeasance.<\/p>\n<p>You want an honest headline? Here, here you go, Newsweek: &ldquo;Vet in U.S. Since 4 but Convicted of Attempting to Murder Pregnant Woman Faces Deportation.&rdquo; Use it free of charge. It&rsquo;s a gift! Really!<\/p>\n<p>Alas, I don&rsquo;t think that&rsquo;s the point: They meant for you to come away uninformed about the Barco case, front-loading all of the exculpatory details &mdash; family, military service, TBI, etc. &mdash; and then saying out of the sides of their mouths, in <em>sotto voce<\/em>, &ldquo;oh yeah, and he also shot a random pregnant woman.

The story focuses on Jose Barco, a 39-year-old Venezuelan-born man with Cuban parents who has lived in the U.S. since he was four. A U.S. Army veteran and Purple Heart recipient, Barco applied for citizenship while serving; however, his application was reportedly lost by military officials. In 2008 and 2009, he opened fire at a party in Colorado Springs and was later convicted of attempted murder after injuring a pregnant woman. Initially sentenced to 52 years, he served only 15 due to good behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Upon his release in January, Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained him for deportation to Venezuela\u2014a country that refuses to accept him back\u2014and much of the media coverage framed it as a tragic tale of hardship without adequately addressing his criminal past. Headlines from various outlets often emphasized his military service while downplaying or omitting details about his felony conviction entirely.<\/p>\n<p>Newsweek&#8217;s report particularly stood out with its headline: \u201cVeteran Who Has Been in US Since He Was 4 Years Old Faces Deportation.\u201d The first two paragraphs highlight Barco\u2019s military service but fail to clarify why he is being deported until much later in the article\u2014after extensive background information that distracts from this critical detail.<\/p>\n<p>While it&#8217;s important to consider Barco&#8217;s circumstances\u2014including mental health issues stemming from combat\u2014it remains essential that any discussion about him includes the fact that he is facing deportation due to an attempted murder conviction.
