After months in harrowing conditions, Hmong refugee & community leader Lue Yang has been transferred back to MI. This hard-won progress is possible because our community stood with Lue’s family. Thank you.

We honor the courage of Michigan’s Hmong community and thank @GovWhitmer for pardoning Lue Yang—a leader who fled persecution and built a life here. But our work isn’t done. ICE must release Lue.

Governor Whitmer’s pardon of Hmong refugee and community leader Lue Yang is a powerful act of fairness + humanity. But Lue remains in ICE custody—our fight isn’t over. Your calls and emails matter. Let’s #BringLueHome.

Your calls are working. 📞💪

Lue is still in the US, and we need more communities to step up the pressure on ICE to free him.
We are fighting for Lue, for his family, and for every refugee to come home.
