Latest on the US-Cambodian deportees issue
ICE arrests Cambodians with deportation orders
Immigration officials have been arresting Cambodian nationals in California in recent weeks as the Trump administration moves to send back those with deportation orders.
As many as 100 Cambodians nationwide may have been detained, according to community advocates, some in the Long Beach area where the immigrants have settled as part of a tight community and busy business district.
ICE would not confirm how many Cambodians have been arrested in recent weeks, but community groups say there are many.
“There has been a lot of fear in the community because there have been so many people rounded up, over a hundred," said Katrina Dizon, immigration policy manager with the Southeast Asia Resource Action Center, an advocacy group with offices in Sacramento and Washington, D.C.

More Than 100 Cambodian-Americans Rounded Up, Now May Face Deportation
Dozens of Cambodian-Americans who have established their lives in the U.S. may be forced to leave a nation they consider home.
More than 100 Cambodian-Americans have been detained across the country within the past month and could be facing deportation, according to a recent statement from the Southeast Asia Resource Action Center, or SEARAC. The organization says most of the individuals being detained are refugees, and many have green cards.
The incident is likely a response to the Cambodian government’s pushback on the U.S. deporting Cambodian refugees here who have few or no ties to their home country, experts say...

Re: Latest on the US-Cambodian deportees issue
And from Cambodia :
US deportees urge policy change
26 October 2017
Cambodians convicted of crimes in the United States yesterday urged both governments to restructure a 2002 agreement which allowed them to be deported.
Speaking at an event at Sunway Hotel on humanitarian issues surrounding the deportees, Kalvin Hang, 36, said returning to Cambodia was extremely difficult for him.
Many of the criminals deported from the US are the children of refugees who fled the country in the 1970s, with a lot of them born in refugee camps in Thailand before growing up in the US.
This year, Cambodia has agreed to receive 34 deportees, however only eight have been repatriated so far. From 2002 until last year, 549 people were forced to return to Cambodia.
Prime Minister HE has urged the US to change the agreement covering the repatriation of Cambodians convicted of crimes. Cambodia wants to amend the agreement based on human rights, arguing separating convicts from their families is inhumane.

Nah. Cambodia is a penal comedy. I mean that in all meanings of that phrase.
Penal comedy.

Not if there's a fire, not even if you hear the sound of a thud from my home and one week later there's a smell coming from there that can only be a decaying human body and you have to hold a hanky to your face because the stench is so thick that you think you're going to faint.
Even then, don't come knocking...Not for ANY reason.

I get why HE doesn't want them back they are gang members. If enough of them were to come back, cities across Cambodia might have an LA style gang problem. No one wants a return to the 90s and early 2000s

Re: Latest on the US-Cambodian deportees issue
Doesn't Nigeria have a law that allows them to lock up people who commit crimes abroad when they are deported back to Nigeria?
HE should pass a law like that. Then these deportees could be sent straight from the airport to Prey Sar.
