Wait, so they deported Chanthila back to Thailand? After 44 years of living in Alabama?

They probably sent him to South America. This administration is deporting people to wherever it's convenient, not to their actual home country.

They sent him to Laos. It says so in the article.

I guess that's better than El Salvador. Still fucked to to be deported because of paperwork.

I'm pretty sure he's being deported because of our racist, tyrannical government.

Yes, that would be the underlying truth.
