As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R. Murrow and a national PRNDI award for investigative reporting, as well as multiple prizes from the Society for Professional Journalists. Sasha is a proud alum of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Brown University and a member of the South Asian Journalists Association.",

But she said gangs threatened her for refusing to pay a \"war tax,\" a local form of extortion. She fled with her husband and two of her children, now aged 6 and 14.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They've been living in Los Angeles for more than two years, and they're still awaiting a decision in their asylum case. By now, they've settled into a routine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At six o'clock, we get up and get ready,\" Lizeth said. They need to be out the door by 7:20 a.m., so Lizeth can get to work by 8:30 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took Lizeth a year and a half to get her work permit. Her husband just received his. Like other asylum-seekers, they started off renting rooms in houses crammed with other occupants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now, they can afford the $1,000 rent for their own studio apartment in the San Fernando Valley. It doesn't offer much privacy, Lizeth said. A simple room divider separates the living room from the bedroom. But their home is decked out with festive Christmas decorations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's 1,000 percent better,\" than anything she expected to have, Lizeth said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have dreams. I have goals. And I know I can achieve them. In my country, you have goals. You have hope. But everything remains a dream,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two years may sound like a long time to wait for an asylum decision. But Lizeth's attorney Jenna Gilbert said these days \"two years is on the shorter end.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As years go by, Gilbert worries that judges may start to think her clients no longer have a credible fear of gang members in their home country. She says a claim that may have been strong a few years ago, \"maybe today isn't so strong.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Things are changing so rapidly, there's really no way to provide your clients with any kind of comfort, any kind of understanding of what the road ahead might look like,\" Gilbert said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'I have dreams. I have goals. And I know I can achieve them. In my country, you have goals. You have hope. But everything remains a dream.'\u003ccite>Lizeth, immigrant from Honduras living in L.A.\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>At this point, Gilbert is hoping that a decision in Lizeth's case is delayed until 2020 or later, when there could be a new president in the White House with more favorable asylum policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Now that we're kind of at the halfway point, I'm hoping that cases slow down as much as possible until we can see the end of this administration,\" Gilbert said. \"Hopefully.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Lizeth and her family grow more comfortable in California every day. They've put a down payment on a car. Their kids are picking up English in school. Lizeth worries what would happen if they were deported back to Honduras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They think those of us coming from the United States are carrying a lot of money,\" she said. \"There are many cases of people who went back to Honduras and didn't live more than a month.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for now, Lizeth said, the future is bright. In Honduras, holidays were hard. She could afford to give her kids gifts or a nice meal, but never both. This year, in the U.S., she was able to make a big Christmas dinner and give her children new clothes and shoes. A nice Christmas, she said, like she hadn't had in a long time.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

During their first month in Los Angeles, Rosa and her family lived in cramped quarters with another family sleeping right next to the bathroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We chose to move because we could not access the bathroom,\" she said. \"We did not feel comfortable entering it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, Rosa has found a studio apartment near downtown LA that rents for $800 per month. But even coming up with that amount will be a struggle. Asylum-seekers are not eligible for a work permit until at least six months into their cases. Many work under the table to get by.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite these hurdles, Rosa said California provides what she didn't have in El Salvador: Safety, and the chance of a better life for her kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is opportunity here,\" she said. \"Here, you can realize any dream you want.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ortiz said even though it is an expensive place to live, asylum-seekers in Los Angeles have access to people who want to help. For instance, she said, \"Getting our clients connected to mental health resources outside of the LA region is very difficult. It's something that we are always struggling with.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/683328305/683501501\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.humanrightsfirst.org/biography/jenna-gilbert\">Jenna Gilbert\u003c/a>, a pro bono asylum attorney at Human Rights First, said it's heartbreaking to get calls from clients who plan to leave California months into their case, because they can't afford to stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She tells them they're not just losing their lawyer.

But she said gangs threatened her for refusing to pay a \"war tax,\" a local form of extortion. She fled with her husband and two of her children, now aged 6 and 14.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They've been living in Los Angeles for more than two years, and they're still awaiting a decision in their asylum case. By now, they've settled into a routine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At six o'clock, we get up and get ready,\" Lizeth said. They need to be out the door by 7:20 a.m., so Lizeth can get to work by 8:30 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took Lizeth a year and a half to get her work permit. Her husband just received his. Like other asylum-seekers, they started off renting rooms in houses crammed with other occupants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now, they can afford the $1,000 rent for their own studio apartment in the San Fernando Valley. It doesn't offer much privacy, Lizeth said. A simple room divider separates the living room from the bedroom. But their home is decked out with festive Christmas decorations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's 1,000 percent better,\" than anything she expected to have, Lizeth said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have dreams. I have goals. And I know I can achieve them. In my country, you have goals. You have hope. But everything remains a dream,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two years may sound like a long time to wait for an asylum decision. But Lizeth's attorney Jenna Gilbert said these days \"two years is on the shorter end.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As years go by, Gilbert worries that judges may start to think her clients no longer have a credible fear of gang members in their home country. She says a claim that may have been strong a few years ago, \"maybe today isn't so strong.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Things are changing so rapidly, there's really no way to provide your clients with any kind of comfort, any kind of understanding of what the road ahead might look like,\" Gilbert said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'I have dreams. I have goals. And I know I can achieve them. In my country, you have goals. You have hope. But everything remains a dream.'\u003ccite>Lizeth, immigrant from Honduras living in L.A.\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>At this point, Gilbert is hoping that a decision in Lizeth's case is delayed until 2020 or later, when there could be a new president in the White House with more favorable asylum policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Now that we're kind of at the halfway point, I'm hoping that cases slow down as much as possible until we can see the end of this administration,\" Gilbert said. \"Hopefully.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Lizeth and her family grow more comfortable in California every day. They've put a down payment on a car. Their kids are picking up English in school. Lizeth worries what would happen if they were deported back to Honduras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They think those of us coming from the United States are carrying a lot of money,\" she said. \"There are many cases of people who went back to Honduras and didn't live more than a month.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for now, Lizeth said, the future is bright. In Honduras, holidays were hard. She could afford to give her kids gifts or a nice meal, but never both. This year, in the U.S., she was able to make a big Christmas dinner and give her children new clothes and shoes. A nice Christmas, she said, like she hadn't had in a long time.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Despite the news, about 200 migrants still started walking toward the port.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rodulfo Figueroa, the top Mexican immigration official in Baja California state, told caravan organizers to send in an initial group of 20 migrants to see if U.S. border inspectors would entertain their request for asylum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Figueroa said he doesn't know if they would be allowed in and had not received word from U.S. immigration officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nicole Ramos, an attorney working on behalf of caravan members, expressed disbelief that U.S. authorities cannot process more asylum seekers until its backlog eases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They have been well aware that a caravan is going to arrive at the border,\" she said at a news conference. \"The failure to prepare and failure to get sufficient agents and resources is not the fault of the most vulnerable among us. We can build a base in Iraq in under a week. We can't process 200 refugees. I don't believe it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The migrants had made their way north by foot, freight train and bus over the past month, many of them saying they feared for their lives in their home countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration has been tracking the caravan since it started in Mexico on March 25 near the Guatemala border.

The caravan got attention after President Donald Trump and members of his Cabinet called it a threat to the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly before the migrants were expected to arrive, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said San Diego's San Ysidro crossing would not immediately be able to handle more asylum seekers. It can hold about 300 people at a time, and officials had been warning that it might fill up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At this time, we have reached capacity at the San Ysidro port of entry for CBP officers to be able to bring additional persons traveling without appropriate entry documentation into the port of entry for processing,\" Commissioner Kevin McAleenan said in a statement. \"Those individuals may need to wait in Mexico as CBP officers work to process those already within our facilities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the crossing could take in additional people as space and resources become available. Despite the news, about 200 migrants still started walking toward the port.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rodulfo Figueroa, the top Mexican immigration official in Baja California state, told caravan organizers to send in an initial group of 20 migrants to see if U.S. border inspectors would entertain their request for asylum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Figueroa said he doesn't know if they would be allowed in and had not received word from U.S. immigration officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nicole Ramos, an attorney working on behalf of caravan members, expressed disbelief that U.S. authorities cannot process more asylum seekers until its backlog eases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They have been well aware that a caravan is going to arrive at the border,\" she said at a news conference. \"The failure to prepare and failure to get sufficient agents and resources is not the fault of the most vulnerable among us. We can build a base in Iraq in under a week. We can't process 200 refugees. I don't believe it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The migrants had made their way north by foot, freight train and bus over the past month, many of them saying they feared for their lives in their home countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration has been tracking the caravan since it started in Mexico on March 25 near the Guatemala border.

In an official response, ICE concurred with the findings and promised to strengthen oversight and improve overall conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics of President Trump's immigration policies say the findings are not new, as they predate the current administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2015 \u003ca href=\"http://www.immigrantjustice.org/lives-peril-how-ineffective-inspections-make-ice-complicit-detention-center-abuse-0?q=livesinperil\">report\u003c/a> by the National Immigrant Justice Center questioned ICE's ability to oversee the detention centers it uses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement on the 2017 report, the center's executive director, Mary Meg McCarthy, said:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"ICE's inability to provide for the safety and health of the tens of thousands of immigrants in its custody has been documented for years. Today, we are calling on Congress to demand accountability and drastically reduce ICE's detention budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"While the Inspector General's report provides documentation of extensive abuses, its remedy is incredibly insufficient: it directs ICE field office directors to review the areas of concern. We know from earlier directives that ICE's internal review processes fail to generate meaningful change.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Women's Refugee Commission said the report is consistent with what the organization and its partners have \"documented for years\" from visits to ICE detention facilities, as well as with research it has conducted over 20 years. Katharina Obser, senior program officer at WRC, said in a statement:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"This week's OIG report spells out what WRC and our partners have documented for years, making clear the critical need for greater oversight and reform. Instead, the Trump administration is intent on lowering or eliminating standards for immigration detention – putting detainees' lives at risk – all while promising to \u003ca href=\"https://www.womensrefugeecommission.org/news/press-releases-and-statements/2645-women-s-refugee-commission-responds-to-dhs-funding-bill\">ramp up detention\u003c/a> on a grand scale. As Congress continues to debate DHS FY 18 appropriations, the OIG's findings show that now is not the time to expand a detention system that ICE is not capable of effectively and safely running. Detention must be reduced and, where needed, humane alternatives to detention, implemented in its place.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three years ago, the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General's Office \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/federal-eye/wp/2014/08/01/heres-what-dhs-found-at-its-detention-centers-for-immigrant-children/?utm_term=.2d2925327588\">reported\u003c/a> on a series of unannounced visits to detention centers for unaccompanied children.

We heard from refugees, military veterans, journalists, activists and more. This story comes from Oakland resident Sonny Lê, who was born in South Vietnam during the war.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I grew up in the Mekong Delta. You could say that's the deep, deep south. Back in the days, it would take you about six hours to travel from Saigon, or Ho Chi Minh City, to the Mekong Delta region along the coast bordering Cambodia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was the southern hideout area of the National Liberation Front, or Viet Cong. We used to have a saying: “Day and night.” We literally meant who was who. So daytime belonged to the Republicans -- that would be the U.S.-backed regime, South Vietnam.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nighttime was when it belonged to the National Liberation Front guerrillas. At night, they came home to see their wives, their kids. And then during the day they disappeared again. I mean, you couldn't tell who the enemies were. Basically the American soldier couldn’t, even the Vietnamese couldn't tell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout my childhood the war was the backdrop, because my father was working for the government. He was a communications officer for the U.S. and for the Vietnamese military. So the war was always part of us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Up until 1975, Vietnam wasn't at peace for centuries. By the time the U.S. got involved in Vietnam, it was called the Second Indochinese War. The first one was with the French. In Vietnam, at that point, we were so inured to the sounds of war that we simply said, “Yeah, but it's over there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11624400\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11624400\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/temple-800x459.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"459\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/temple-800x459.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/temple-160x92.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/temple-1020x585.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/temple-1920x1102.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/temple-1180x677.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/temple-960x551.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/temple-240x138.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/temple-375x215.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/temple-520x298.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">On the left is the house where Sonny Lê lived with his family in 1975.

That night, we heard on the radio that the national radio broadcast was cut off -- radio silence. South Vietnam had lost; the country basically was gone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The night of April 30, we heard sporadic gunfire. Back in those days, nearly every house had a bomb shelter. It was basically a big earthen pot underneath the ground and we all got in there, under the bed. We were hiding in that pot and we heard footsteps running back and forth on the road and then we heard sounds of tires screeching -- the former South Vietnamese soldiers running away, or being chased.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You thought, “We're going to die,” because the biggest fear at that point was bombings or artillery. The worst thing about artillery is that they land where they land. They don't have names on those shells and so they just could land anywhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don't think my father came home until a week later. We thought he either died or [was] captured during the chaos. The very people who came to relieve my father were his drinking buddies, but they were undercover commies. On May 1, he was their captive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My dad's brothers-in-law -- two of them were commies, too, and we didn't know until after the war. One of them was a high-ranking member. The other was running guns for the National Liberation Front. The Vietnam War divided families and family members were fighting on both sides, sometimes against each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I left I was going on 17, so I was that close to drafting age. Vietnam was fighting two wars: in the north with China, in the south with Cambodia. At the time Vietnam was broken, economically speaking, and Vietnam was in a panic. So any Vietnamese, even northerners, had to flee for their lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11624407\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-11624407\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/SCAN0037-1-1020x1516.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"951\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/SCAN0037-1-1020x1516.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/SCAN0037-1-160x238.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/SCAN0037-1-800x1189.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/SCAN0037-1-960x1427.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/SCAN0037-1-240x357.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/SCAN0037-1-375x557.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/SCAN0037-1-520x773.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/SCAN0037-1.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sonny Lê's father (center) and uncles. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Sonny Lê)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>My boat left in 1980, with some cousins, and then subsequently there was another boat planned for 1981 that would have been my uncles and possibly my family, but that boat got caught. They got busted, and so they went to jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of people went to jail and [got] tortured pretty good, but thankfully some of our family members were part of the communist regime so they rescued their own brothers-in-law. So that's how I ended up here without my family. That wasn't intentional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another thing is that most refugees who fled by boat had no idea where we were headed. I mean, if you look on the map, in theory you could see the other side, right? I mean, on a map it looks hella small! If we keep going we're going to hit shore, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But you have no idea how vast the ocean is. It's scary vast and when you go out, so far out when there is no land, the depth of the ocean is as far as the eye can see. You’re scared, but you stop being scared because you know death was imminent. When your death [is] imminent, you’re just trying to reconcile with death. We made it by praying to everybody. If Prince was around, I would have prayed to him, too!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our boat had 302 people on board and it was steaming hot. And we hired a captain who claimed to have traveled the high seas and he had seen the other side -- of course, he fibbed. By the second day we snuck out of the river mouth, heading for the South China Sea. That was on the night of the 19th of May, 1980. That night was pitch black, no moon. It was low tide, but we didn't know we ran into fishing nets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fishermen would string these big nets in the river mouth to catch the fish going out. The boat kept going in a circle, because the nets kept drawing us back. So we put the engine pedal to the metal, to the point that we broke the nets. But we also cracked the hull of the boat and broke the engine.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'We didn't think we'd make it.'\u003cbr>\n\u003ccite>Sonny Lê, Vietnamese refugee\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>By the morning we were already adrift at sea. The thing about [being] adrift at sea is that you begin to see debris, and that's when we saw the debris of all the boats that may have sunk. And then we saw some bodies floating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We didn't think we'd make it. It's like 100 degrees -- sun, humidity, stifling heat in the boat. The smell of sweat, urine, vomit and fecal matter together. It smells horrible and I can still smell that in my nostrils. I call it the stench of death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then towards the morning of the sixth day, there was this gigantic ship -- turned out to be an oil tanker. That was the George F. Getty II. We're screaming at the top of our lungs. We would strip our clothes down all the way and we burned them in this big old pot on top of the deck of the boat. Hopefully, we [could] raise hell and people [would] see and turn around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11624396\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 285px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11624396 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/1Css9jgkQb48dd8UZSFwZuw.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"285\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/1Css9jgkQb48dd8UZSFwZuw.jpeg 285w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/1Css9jgkQb48dd8UZSFwZuw-160x225.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/1Css9jgkQb48dd8UZSFwZuw-240x337.jpeg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 285px) 100vw, 285px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The author in a refugee camp in Singapore, May 1980. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Sonny Lê)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>All of a sudden, it stopped and made a U-turn. But that was even scarier, when that little tiny wooden boat [was] next to the ship -- it makes quite an impression. Our boat nearly sank because of the waves in the wake of that ship. About 5 a.m., the ship dropped these ladders down to our boat. That's when we knew that we were safe: when the ladders came down and the deckhands of the oil tanker came down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a Filipino crew and the ship captain was Italian. The next day we had our spaghetti with meatballs on that ship! They turned the tanker around and it dropped us off in Singapore the next morning, on the sixth day after we had left Vietnam.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some of us didn't make it. A lot of people, when they were adrift at sea for so long, they resorted to cannibalism. A lot of Vietnamese refugees ate each other to survive. And the most harrowing experience was the women were being raped by pirates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The war not only decimated lives and livelihoods, but also it forced people to come up with different narratives for their own lives. Many of us were farmers, fishers, nobodies. So when we landed in America we had a chance to reinvent who we were. A lot of Vietnamese families have these stories that haven't been told. Whoever they were before the war and during the war -- to their kids, they're different people. The war made them want to forget what it was like. This is understandable, but it's history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's Bert Johnson and Bianca Taylor produced this report. \u003c/em>\u003cem>This piece was taken from an interview with Lê, which has been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

South Vietnam had lost; the country basically was gone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The night of April 30, we heard sporadic gunfire. Back in those days, nearly every house had a bomb shelter. It was basically a big earthen pot underneath the ground and we all got in there, under the bed. We were hiding in that pot and we heard footsteps running back and forth on the road and then we heard sounds of tires screeching -- the former South Vietnamese soldiers running away, or being chased.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You thought, “We're going to die,” because the biggest fear at that point was bombings or artillery. The worst thing about artillery is that they land where they land. They don't have names on those shells and so they just could land anywhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don't think my father came home until a week later. We thought he either died or [was] captured during the chaos. The very people who came to relieve my father were his drinking buddies, but they were undercover commies. On May 1, he was their captive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My dad's brothers-in-law -- two of them were commies, too, and we didn't know until after the war. One of them was a high-ranking member. The other was running guns for the National Liberation Front. The Vietnam War divided families and family members were fighting on both sides, sometimes against each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I left I was going on 17, so I was that close to drafting age. Vietnam was fighting two wars: in the north with China, in the south with Cambodia. At the time Vietnam was broken, economically speaking, and Vietnam was in a panic. So any Vietnamese, even northerners, had to flee for their lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11624407\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-11624407\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/SCAN0037-1-1020x1516.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"951\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/SCAN0037-1-1020x1516.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/SCAN0037-1-160x238.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/SCAN0037-1-800x1189.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/SCAN0037-1-960x1427.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/SCAN0037-1-240x357.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/SCAN0037-1-375x557.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/SCAN0037-1-520x773.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/SCAN0037-1.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sonny Lê's father (center) and uncles. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Sonny Lê)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>My boat left in 1980, with some cousins, and then subsequently there was another boat planned for 1981 that would have been my uncles and possibly my family, but that boat got caught. They got busted, and so they went to jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of people went to jail and [got] tortured pretty good, but thankfully some of our family members were part of the communist regime so they rescued their own brothers-in-law. So that's how I ended up here without my family. That wasn't intentional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another thing is that most refugees who fled by boat had no idea where we were headed. I mean, if you look on the map, in theory you could see the other side, right? I mean, on a map it looks hella small! If we keep going we're going to hit shore, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But you have no idea how vast the ocean is. It's scary vast and when you go out, so far out when there is no land, the depth of the ocean is as far as the eye can see. You’re scared, but you stop being scared because you know death was imminent. When your death [is] imminent, you’re just trying to reconcile with death. We made it by praying to everybody. If Prince was around, I would have prayed to him, too!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our boat had 302 people on board and it was steaming hot. And we hired a captain who claimed to have traveled the high seas and he had seen the other side -- of course, he fibbed. By the second day we snuck out of the river mouth, heading for the South China Sea. That was on the night of the 19th of May, 1980. That night was pitch black, no moon. It was low tide, but we didn't know we ran into fishing nets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fishermen would string these big nets in the river mouth to catch the fish going out. The boat kept going in a circle, because the nets kept drawing us back. So we put the engine pedal to the metal, to the point that we broke the nets. But we also cracked the hull of the boat and broke the engine.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'We didn't think we'd make it.'\u003cbr>\n\u003ccite>Sonny Lê, Vietnamese refugee\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>By the morning we were already adrift at sea. The thing about [being] adrift at sea is that you begin to see debris, and that's when we saw the debris of all the boats that may have sunk. And then we saw some bodies floating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We didn't think we'd make it. It's like 100 degrees -- sun, humidity, stifling heat in the boat. The smell of sweat, urine, vomit and fecal matter together. It smells horrible and I can still smell that in my nostrils. I call it the stench of death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then towards the morning of the sixth day, there was this gigantic ship -- turned out to be an oil tanker. That was the George F. Getty II. We're screaming at the top of our lungs. We would strip our clothes down all the way and we burned them in this big old pot on top of the deck of the boat. Hopefully, we [could] raise hell and people [would] see and turn around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11624396\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 285px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11624396 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/1Css9jgkQb48dd8UZSFwZuw.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"285\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/1Css9jgkQb48dd8UZSFwZuw.jpeg 285w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/1Css9jgkQb48dd8UZSFwZuw-160x225.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/1Css9jgkQb48dd8UZSFwZuw-240x337.jpeg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 285px) 100vw, 285px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The author in a refugee camp in Singapore, May 1980. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Sonny Lê)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>All of a sudden, it stopped and made a U-turn. But that was even scarier, when that little tiny wooden boat [was] next to the ship -- it makes quite an impression. Our boat nearly sank because of the waves in the wake of that ship. About 5 a.m., the ship dropped these ladders down to our boat. That's when we knew that we were safe: when the ladders came down and the deckhands of the oil tanker came down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a Filipino crew and the ship captain was Italian. The next day we had our spaghetti with meatballs on that ship! They turned the tanker around and it dropped us off in Singapore the next morning, on the sixth day after we had left Vietnam.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some of us didn't make it. A lot of people, when they were adrift at sea for so long, they resorted to cannibalism. A lot of Vietnamese refugees ate each other to survive. And the most harrowing experience was the women were being raped by pirates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The war not only decimated lives and livelihoods, but also it forced people to come up with different narratives for their own lives. Many of us were farmers, fishers, nobodies. So when we landed in America we had a chance to reinvent who we were. A lot of Vietnamese families have these stories that haven't been told. Whoever they were before the war and during the war -- to their kids, they're different people. The war made them want to forget what it was like. This is understandable, but it's history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"description": "\u003ch1>The California Dream\u003c/h1>\r\nYou became a Californian because someone in your family believed in a dream. A strong public education. The promise of a job. The weather.
