Thailand’s forced return of Hmong refugees to Laos is being criticized on Capitol Hill, with one leading lawmaker threatening to curb long-running U.S.-Thai military relations. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), chairman of the Senate Appropriations subcommittee that oversees foreign operations, warns that mistreatment of the Hmong “could badly damage the Thai military’s reputation and put our military collaboration at risk.” Many Lao Hmong fought alongside the U.S. military during the Vietnam War, and some have been resettled in the U.S. since then.
