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.
