A Hmong American woman who is a mother of five has been deported from the Milwaukee area to Laos, a country she has never set foot in, according to a new report.

Ma Yang, 37, is being held in a rooming house in Laos, surrounded by military guards, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. She does not speak the language, knows no one, and says the military is holding all of her documents.

"The United States sent me back to die," Yang told the outlet. "I don't even know where to go. I don't even know what to do."

"How do I rent, or buy, or anything, with no papers?" she added. "I'm a nobody right now."

The 37-year-old is also without insulin for her diabetes and is running out of her medication for high blood pressure.

Yang was born in Thailand and was a legal permanent US resident until she pleaded guilty to marijuana-related charges and served more than 2 years in prison. She took the plea deal after her attorney incorrectly stated it wouldn’t affect her legal permanent residency, which was later revoked, the Journal Sentinel reports.

Yang says she would’ve taken a longer sentence to keep her legal residency.

“I made a mistake and I know that it was wrong," she told the outlet. "But I served the time for it already."

After her sentence, Yang was taken to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Minnesota. There, a new attorney told her to sign a document that allowed her to leave but required her to agree that a deportation order would be entered against her, according to the Journal Sentinel.

Yang’s attorney believed she would never be deported, as the US typically deports a small number of people to the country each year and Laos has typically refused to accept deportees, the Journal Sentinel reports. Yang also thought her case would be re-opened because she had poor representation.

It wasn’t.

"I just keep getting screwed in this system," Yang told the Journal Sentinel.

In February, ICE agents asked Yang to report to their Milwaukee facility. From there, she was detained, sent to Indiana, transferred to Chicago, and finally put on a series of flights to Laos.

Yang was removed from the US after President Donald Trump vowed to deport “millions and millions” and conduct the largest deportation operation in US history.

The Trump administration has been ramping up deportation efforts, and the president has even attempted to speed up their efforts by invoking the rarely-used Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

Trump signed an executive order Saturday invoking the act, which is intended to be invoked when the country is at war or if a foreign nation has invaded the U.S. or has issued threats that they will.

However, Chief Judge James Boasberg issued a temporary restraining order on deportations under the wartime law on Saturday night. The order blocks the deportation of any non-citizens who are in custody and facing removal under the Alien Enemies Act for at least 14 days.

The Independent has contacted ICE for comment.

A Milwaukee mother-of-five with a drug dealing conviction has moaned about being deported to a country where she's never lived and blamed her lawyer.

Ma Yang, 37, was deported last month to Laos - despite not speaking the Lao language and having no friends or family in the country, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

The military is now holding onto her papers, and Yang has been left without insulin for her diabetes and a dwindling supply of high blood pressure medication, she said.

'The United States sent me back to die,' she claimed. 'I don't even know where to go. I don't even know what to do.'

Yang was born in a refugee camp in Thailand, the daughter of Hmong refugees after the Vietnam War, TMJ 4 reports. They then brought her to the United States when she was just eight months old.

But Yang decided to take part in a drug trafficking operation while on a green card, which can be revoked for criminal behavior.

The problems began shortly after the family moved into a house that prosecutors say was part of a marijuana trafficking operation.

Prosecutors have claimed that Yang helped count and package cash that was mailed to marijuana suppliers in California, saying they found bags of cash taped between pages of magazines.

Yang ultimately took a plea deal and served two-and-a-half years in prison, claiming her attorney incorrectly told her the plea deal would not affect her immigration status as a green card holder.

But her legal permanent residency was revoked.

Following her sentence, Yang was transferred to an ICE detention center in Minnesota, where at the advice of an attorney, she signed a document agreeing that a deportation order would be issued against her in exchange for being released from detention.

At that point, Yang said she expected her second attorney to reopen her criminal case, and get the conviction thrown out on the grounds she had poor legal representation the first time.

If it were thrown out, she reasoned, the deportation order would become irrelevant.

But the attorney never fought the charges.

'I just keep getting screwed in this system,' she said.

Still, someone told her she would likely just sit in jail for a few months, then get released, since Laos would likely not take her back.

But after just two weeks, she was sent to a holding facility in Chicago and then to the airport, where an officer forced her to put her fingerprints on a document stating she would not return to the US.

Now, Yang says she feels betrayed by the US - noting that Hmong soldiers recruited by the CIA helped the American military in the Vietnam War, then faced persecution and violence for their role.

'How did you send us back when we fought for you guys?' she asked, rhetorically. 'How is that OK?'

 
Apparently, she has lived in Milwaukee since she was an infant, so it is entirely believable that she doesn't speak a lick of Lao or Thai. I'm not American, but it strikes me as odd that an almost 40 year old that came to the U.S as a refugee baby doesn't have citizenship, just a green card?

Are we going to keep acting like Laos doesn’t have a significant Hmong population? She doesn’t have to speak Lao to communicate there.
 
Pelosi, all ready to announce the current iteration of the DREAM Act, gets shouted down by a bunch of brown owngoalers (browngoalers?) and for some goddamn reason the democrat caved.
I'm not so sure it's an own goal so much as they're playing a very long, and very retarded, game. They want anyone to be able to come here, proclaim themselves American, and have absolutely no chance of deportation no matter what they do. Compromises that rely on the premise that Americans have a right to decide who gets to come into this country and stay long-term undermine that.

And? I'm assuming she only speaks English if she came to the U.S as a baby. Laotian Hmong don't typically speak English. The older ones will speak Hmong and the younger ones will speak Lao and Thai with a smattering of basic English if they work in the tourism/hospitality sector.

Yes sir you’re right. Her parents immediately and solely spoke English at home after they moved here. Thank you and have a great day.

37! Not only diabetic but already speedran all the other treatments for type 2 and is insulin dependent. The Western diet and its consequences have been a disaster for short brownoids of all types. Only proper Viking stock can handle our eggs and bacon and pop tarts bounty.

Other articles say she worked as a "nail technician." She absolutely speaks the language, or a language from that region. They don't speak English in those joints.

I have a lot of respect for the Hmong who helped the US in Vietnam. They're badasses.

You, lady, are a drug criminal trying to game the system here. If you had fighters in your family tree I'm sure they're ashamed of you.

Definetly not a vietnamese nail salon cuz they would've called her a nigger until she left. I see also she's got her young daughter dressed up in hmong garb implying a continued connection to the community. She definetly at least speaks conversational/functional hmong.
 
She’s on medication for diabetes and high blood pressure.

Either you people can’t read or you all love morbidly obese women.
dont even need to read that, the pic in OP shows she has a fat face. not even filters can hide how fat she is. i swear some of you guys are unironically legitimately retarded.
 
It's not usually weed that comes into the US via contacts in SE Asia. You do wonder if her sentence was tough for what she was convicted of because they couldn't convict her for handling brown. If she is involved in that business, there's no way her Hmong bros aren't moving something of higher value.
