Update to my post of July 7 of this year. I reported on my friend's prison ministry, and on one parolee who was born in Vietnam. ICE detained him and deported him to Vietnam in September. I wrote recently to my friend the prison chaplain. Her response is so sad: the parolee was found dead in his Vietnam apartment in early November. The chaplain didn't say the cause of death. I guess the former prisoner is in a better place now. But the people he left behind are in mourning, especially the chaplain: she says he was like a son to her.
