ICE detained a man who has been living in the U.S. since he was a baby, remanding him into federal custody after a routine appointment with immigration officials.

Chong Leng Vue, 45, was brought to the U.S. as a baby from a refugee camp in Thailand. His family was one of many that fled Laos during the Secret War and was granted asylum in the U.S.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

This is terrible he was just a baby....

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told the outlet that Chong Leng Vue was convicted of three counts of assault, two firearm-related felonies and concealing and receiving a firearm. An immigration judge had ordered his removal in February 2004, DHS said.

Tricia McLaughlin, a spokesperson for DHS, told Newsweek, "Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, if you break the law, you will face the consequences."

Drop kick his criminal illegal alien scum ass to any available shit hole that will take him....

Agreed. And we’re supposed to believe that he was a refugee for 45 years?

LOL. Give that headline writer an A for packing so much spin into one headline. His family is suffering. He was snatched off the street at a routine appointment - Nazi tactics!!!! And he has been here since he was a baby!!!! ICE is kicking babies out of the country!!!!

OK. Let’s make a deal. We’ll let the people who he assaulted and shot decide what should happen to him.

“ He had 45 years to obtain US citizenship.”

Yep. Went to HS with a kid in a similar story. He became a citizen at age 18. Coach bused the whole football team to watch him take his oath.

Went to the Marines next and I think NMSU to become a HS football coach somewhere in west Texas.

He’s either in violation of at least one Federal law or he’s not. If he is all I say is “see ya,wouldn’t wanna be ya!”

He also had the same 45 years to NOT break the law several times.

No, because he effed up in his 20’s with criminal behavior and convictions for which he was ordered deported in 2006 that forclosed all avenues of citizenship.

He’s been living on borrowed time. Times up.

Good. Forty-five years of living illegally in the country is long enough. Be gone, Chong!

WHy did the man leave to go to an appointment if his family was suffering? Shouldn’t he have stayed with them?

His criminal misconduct would likely have barred him from citizenship.
