Former U.S. Ambassador: Trump Plans Deportation of Vietnamese Immigrants
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, the former U.S. ambassador to Vietnam told Reuters that the
Trump administration is seeking to deport thousands of Vietnamese
immigrants, despite a bilateral agreement that should shield most of
them. Ambassador Ted Osius says many of the immigrants being targeted
were supporters of the U.S.-backed former government of South Vietnam,
making them likely targets for persecution if they're deported. Osius
says a small number of deportations have already happened, and that
Trump's policy contributed to his decision to resign as U.S. ambassador
to Vietnam last October.
