There is a rumor about our green card-holder Laotians being deported
Permalink   


The offense was considered misdemeanor but they were held at the INS retention center. Some just didn’t show up for the traffic court and when he or she got pulled over for a minor violation, an officer would run a background check which is a normal routine and there is a warrant for an arrest then you are booked to the county jail. From there, the immigration officers come to pick you up and retain you for 6 months before the deportation takes place.  This is quite scary for many people.

 

In the past, they would deport you if your offense is considered a felony. I think Lao government finally agrees to accept these deportees. Does anybody know anything about this?

I thought you got to have a felony before you are eligible for deportation.

I've been following this news for awhile.  As far I know, Laos and U.S. never signed an agreement regarding deportation of non-citizens.  Although, our neighbors Cambodia and Vietnam do have agreements.  I've seen a show on PBS channel about the deportation of 3 cambodian guys.

That was the past but now, the INS has empowered by law to detain you at least six months if they want to. I will post the article of our Lao people who are facing deportation for you later. I have too many incoming calls right now and to type and talk at the same time is not quite easy.

They should be deported if they broke the laws. Anyway, I don't think Lao government will accept them. Therefore they will have to serve their crimes in jails in the U.S.

The problem is after they finished serving their times in jail, the authority kept their green cards so they can’t find a job. What else can they do besides, moseying around? Many of them regret for not obtaining a citizenship and now it’s too late. Once you are on their deportation list, it is over. Many of our Laotian folks procrastinate in securing applications for American citizens and some were given false information by the own people that it’s better to remain as a legal residents.

Rumor!...just the rumor.  Laos government will not negotiate with you if it's a criminal case.  But they are working on it i don't know it will be possible.
