Rally for Michigan Hmong Refugees Detained by ICE

On July 30, approximately 15 Hmong refugees were unexpectedly detained by ICE when they were asked to report to an ICE field office for an “Interview”. They are now in danger of being deported to Laos - a country many have never been to, or elsewhere.

These individuals were born in refugee camps in Thailand and came to the U.S. legally as children of Hmong veterans who served alongside America during the Vietnam War/Secret War in Laos. They are fathers, sons, husbands, one is a wife/daughter, loyal employees, taxpayers, and members of our community. Some lack legal representation while others are unable to speak English fluently.

Another detained on July 15 while at work, is a prominent community leader.

Please join the families of those detained and help us show support for their safe return to their loved ones and into the communities they know, love, and have been part of for decades.
