A Laotian refugee faces deportation after a 1998 conviction resurfaced, despite calling the U.S. home for decades.
Alan Phetsadakone, a Laotian refugee who came to the U.S. as a child and has lived here for decades, faces deportation after a 1998 conviction resurfaced, despite having no memory of Laos and considering the U.S. his home.
Deportation flights to Laos have resumed under President Trump’s immigration crackdown, marking the first such flights in years.
Though released after a federal judge intervened, Alan remains in legal limbo, with his wife and U.S.-born children fearing separation.
His case exemplifies the vulnerability of longtime residents with past convictions amid expanded enforcement.
