| Summary/Abstract |
Thousands of mentally ill people residing legally in the United States have been deported after committing crimes as minor as shoplifting. Journalist Katya Cengel reports on Cambodians who fled the country’s killing fields as children and who, after being repatriated, are struggling to make a life for themselves in their unfamiliar homelands. She introduces us to Khe Khoeun, a former refugee now living with relatives in Cambodia, and describes how those with mental health problems are singularly ill-equipped to navigate America’s complicated immigration court system.

| Summary/Abstract |
I was in Armenia to report on a program as innocuous as they come-the prevention of blindness in premature babies. But during a meeting in the city of Yerevan with one of the humanitarian organizations involved in this project, the conversation turned to war. The leader of the organization introduced several members of the group as "war heroes," then offered a half-hearted apology for bringing politics into the conversation about infant disabilities. Another member corrected her. There was nothing to apologize for, he said. It wasn't politics. It was the reality of life in Armenia. Anyone who fought in the war was a hero.

| Summary/Abstract |
They are not the most sympathetic characters. Veasna Sany goes by her former gang name "China." She has been convicted of possession and sale of cocaine, battery, and prostitution. Gnan "Mikki" Kroeung's convictions include terrorist threats and possession of a firearm. "Pich," a former methamphetamine addict, was caught engaging in credit card fraud. They all served time in US prisons and would now be home with their families in Philadelphia and Long Beach-if they were American citizens. But they aren't. They are legal permanent residents of the United States who have been deported to Cambodia, a country their parents fled before they were born.
