The Asian Prison Support Committee and others are now trying to highlight You's story, putting pressure on Gov. Gavin Newsom to pardon him and the California Department of Corrections to stop ICE transfers.

Photo by Bridget Bennett | Survival Media AgencyLike many Southeast Asian refugee youth around him, he was bullied at school. He was targeted by other kids, resulting in constant fighting and violence. For a sense of belonging and protection, he said he joined a gang at 13 years old.
You and his family also struggled with the trauma from surviving war and genocide with no culturally competent resources. He said he began abusing drugs and alcohol. Being a journalist taught You to contextualize his experience while holding himself accountable to choices he’s made and their consequences.
