AllSides Media Bias Rating: Lean Left
Melissa Tran shared a message with her community a week after the Department of Homeland Security deported the Hagerstown, Maryland mother of four to Vietnam, a country she left as a child.
Tran was in the United States legally, but the Trump administration deported her over a theft conviction decades ago in Virginia.
Her troubles started earlier this year during a routine check-in with immigration officials in Baltimore.
