YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA South St. Paul woman is facing uncertainty as she prepares for her husband’s imminent deportation over a decades-old criminal record.
Zong Yang, 48, was born in a Hmong refugee camp in Thailand and legally immigrated to the United States as a child in the early 1980s. A mistake in the late 1990s – breaking into a store with friends in Wisconsin – left him with a felony record.
"Him and his group of friends, young and dumb, just decided to break into a store," his wife recalled.
On Feb. 5, federal agents took him from their home and sent him to a detention camp in Texas, which his wife said he described as "a horrible place. Everything was dirty. It was an old military camp. They had makeshift walls. There was one bathroom."
