A 2018 study published by Rashmi Gangamma and Daran Shipman in the Journal of Marital and Family Therapy noted that the traumatic nature of (immigrant’s) forced displacement flight, and resettlement can increase vulnerability to mental distress. . First generation immigrants are especially vulnerable to gang violence within communities in which their parents cannot guide with cultural or political comfortability.

(8) According to Section 2, Article 2 of the 2008 Vietnam-U.S. MOU, Vietnamese citizens are not subject to return to Vietnam under this Agreement if they arrived in the United States before July 12, 1995, the date on which diplomatic relations were re-established between the U.S. Government and the Vietnamese Government. The U.S. Government and the Vietnamese Government maintain their respective legal positions relative to Vietnamese citizens who departed Vietnam for the United States prior to that date .
