John Michael Kohler Arts Center The United States' 'Secret War' in Laos roughly paralleled its war in Vietnam. Both in time frame and purpose. From the early 1960s until 1975, while waging open war against communist backed forces in north Vietnam, a covert war directed by the Central Intelligence Agency was carried out in Laos. Laos shares Vietnam's western border and runs lengthwise about two-thirds down the country. Similar to Vietnam, Laos was engulfed in a civil war during this period pitting U.S.-backed, right wing, regimes against Soviet-backed, left wing, communists. Unlike in Vietnam, the U.S. and Soviets had signed a treaty in 1962 declaring Laos would maintain its neutrality. Officially. Neither superpower was interested in that. Unofficially. The Ho Chi Minh Trail led through northern Laos. It funneled Soviet-backed troops, supplies, and support into north Vietnam for use against the South Vietnamese and Americans in Vietnam. The Soviets wanted it to remain open. The Americans wanted it closed. Without being able to place U.S. troops in Laos, the CIA orchestrated the largest bombing campaign in world history to that point. More bombs dropped from American planes on Laos than were deployed by the Allies in World War II. Laos is not a large nation, relatively speaking. Smaller than Vietnam. About the size of mainland Japan. The CIA also recruited Indigenous people opposed to the communist forces in Laos to fight on America's behalf. Remember, this period was also a civil war. Primary among these groups were the HMong. Over the course of the 'Secret War,' roughly 30,000 HMong fought on the U.S. 'side.' Hundreds of thousands of people were killed in Laos on both sides. Hundreds of millions were spent in Laos by both do it. When the war in Vietnam and the Laotian Civil War were over, and the Soviet supported communists had defeated their American supported adversaries, HMong people, and those who had fought alongside them, became targets of political persecution. Murder. They fled to refugee camps in Thailand, the next country west. Then to America, by the thousands. As with Vietnamese people who supported America and suddenly found themselves political targets after the Fall of Saigon, the United States supported a mass immigration of HMong from Laos. They came first to California, many settling in the Bay Area. HMong people also wound up in Minneapolis and Saint Paul, MN, and Wisconsin next door, in large numbers. They were initially hosted by church communities. Once the populations gained a foothold, word of mouth among HMong people encouraged more to make their way to these places. Pao Houa Her is a HMong artist based in Minnesota with simultaneous exhibitions of her art on view at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan, WI, and the San José Museum of Art in California. Pao Houa Her Born in Laos in 1982, Her fled with her family in the aftermath of the Laotian Civil War, spending a year in a refugee camp in Thailand before settling in Saint Paul. Her's work explores identity, longing, and belonging in a community culturally defined by an elsewhere. 'Pao Houa Her: The Imaginative Landscape' transports viewers to the jungles of Laos, the agricultural fields of California, the memories of elders, and the dreams of HMong community members across America. The exhibition is the artist's first museum survey, presenting over 50 new and recent photographs and video works both inside the John Michael Kohler Art Center and beyond JMKAC's walls, with installations at public sites and community gathering places around Sheboygan—from roadside billboards to yard signs, restaurants, a brewery, the local HMong Mutual Assistance Association building, and an active courtroom. The two overlapping presentations–on view in Wisconsin through August 31, 2025, on view in San Jose July 11, 2025, through February 22, 2026–each tailored to their host city, reflect the diverse U.S. contexts in which HMong communities have adapted and built new homelands. The survey marks a major career milestone for Her whose work was featured in the 2022 Whitney Biennial and is currently on view at the Museum of Modern Art. Sheboygan has long been a vital center for HMong culture and community, home to one of the largest HMong populations per capita in the United States. Wisconsin itself has the third-largest HMong population in the country, with deep connections to the Twin Cities region and California, where the largest U.S. HMong populations reside.

Courtesy of the artist and Bockley Gallery. John Michael Kohler Arts Center. The John Michael Kohler Arts Center presentation begins in the building's entryway with banners bearing images from Her's portrait series Attention (2012-14). The series honors HMong 'Secret War' veterans who fought for the Americans by photographing them in military portrait style. The uniforms they wear have been sourced ad hoc, often purchased online. Remember, the Laotian Civil War and the HMong involvement on behalf of America wasn't a formal, official engagement. There were no proper uniforms in the manner typically understood. Participating–fighting and dying–on behalf of America in a publicly unsanctioned war has left HMong soldiers doubly disgraced: forced to flee their home country and unrecognized for their service in their new country. Remember. Secret war. The United States government in no way has been interested in acknowledging this happened, let alone honoring the veterans who it enrolled on the ground. Recognition by the new country, America, for their military service in the old country, Laos, after having fled the old country for the new country, has been a decades long process for HMong soldiers. In Sheboygan's Deland Park right on Lake Michigan, a national Lao, HMong, and American veterans of the 'Secret War' memorial provides extensive background on the conflict while honoring individuals who fought on behalf of the U.S. Be sure to see it. JMKAC also displays a series of Her's lenticular photographs–prints in which the image changes as viewers change their viewpoint around it. The photographs are massive, six feet across. 'A few years ago, (Her's) father brought the family to Laos, loaded them up in a passenger van and took them around to sites in the jungle where they hid, when the family, including Pao as a toddler, escaped Laos, places where he remembered: this is an enclave where we hid, or this is where someone died, or even this is where someone was born,' Jodi Throckmorton, John Michael Kohler Arts Center Chief Curator and exhibition curator, told a group of media touring the exhibition in May. 'These landscapes that seem completely overgrown, what does this jungle remember of that time? (Pao was) thinking about how she can really bring people into these images and into the jungle with her.' The jungle remembers it all. The agony. The fear. So do the people, like Pao's father, who lived it. Even if, like most survivors of war and trauma, they don't wish to constantly relive it. '(Pao says) it's not something her family talked a lot about,' Throckmorton said. 'There's generations of people here that their families don't talk about this experience of being forced to flee, and what it's like to move to the United States. This work conjures a lot of memories for people.' Not good ones. Another of Pao's not good memories is shared through an enormous, wall-sized video paired with a haunting HMong kwv txhiaj , song poetry. 'She's never shown this one before because unbeknownst to her, the videographer had shared with the singers that Pao's husband had very recently, tragically, passed away at a young age,' Throckmorton explained. 'So the singers, what you hear in HMong is them singing from the perspective of Pao and her husband, across life and death. It's an incredibly moving song.'

John Michael Kohler Arts Center 'The Imaginative Landscape' in Sheboygan moves visitors around town, most remarkably to an active courtroom at the Sheboygan County Courthouse where Her shows images from the series After the Fall of HMong Tebchaw (2017). The series of black-and-white photographs reflect on the historic loss of 'tebchaw' (homeland) and a more recent scandal in which a Minnesota HMong man swindled nearly $4 million from elders by claiming he was negotiating government-backed land purchases in Laos to create a HMong country. Judge Natasha Torry, a JMKAC board member, presides over the courtroom. She welcomed in the artworks. 'I have always been interested in the idea of the court being a community center,' Torry told 'Originally, I was a municipal court judge, and that's referred to as a community based alternative to the criminal justice system. I've tried to do things like have restorative justice. There was a discussion of (having) this exhibition and they were looking for places that are not typically where you would have art being displayed.' Torry's candidly dumpy, dingy, dated, wood panel lined courtroom allowed for the placement of contemporary art and the banging of nails into walls which would have been forbidden in one of the ornate ground floor courtrooms. 'I've had HMong people make comments and appreciate it,' Torry said. 'Almost right when it was up, I had a HMong defendant sentenced for something, and they even said, 'Judge, thank you for the art.''

Courtesy of the artist and Bockley Gallery. Her's San José Museum of Art presentation is a more typical museum exhibition weaving together California's agricultural landscapes with the jungles of Laos and Minnesota poppy fields, offering a compelling exploration of migration, labor, and identity. These issues are deeply intertwined with California's history and evolving cultural landscape. The exhibition includes a series of large-scale light boxes showcasing images of Mount Shasta's landscape in Northern California. This is an area where HMong farmers, drawing upon ancestral knowledge of highland opium cultivation, have adapted their skills to cannabis farming amid the so-called 'Green Rush.'

Our unexploded bombs in Southeast Asia from 50 years ago still kill people today
Imagine airplanes dropping bombs every 8 minutes, 24 hours a day, for 9 long years. This was the reality for Laos, a country scarred by a secret war most Americans never knew about. My parents, age 14 at the time, were forced to endure the destruction and displacement of their community, its people and its religious sites. From 1964 to 1973, the U.S. secretly dropped at least 2.5 million tons of ordnance on Laos during 580,000 bombing missions, making it the most bombed country per capita in history. Although I wasn't born during this war, I inherited its consequences. As a child, I witnessed my father, a surgeon, operate on countless victims of unexploded ordnance accidents. One was my classmate, a five-year-old little girl. The imminent dangers forced my family to flee in 1990 when I was only six years old. In 1971, the so-called 'Secret War' in Laos was revealed to Congress, thanks to the courage of Fred Branfman and Bouangeun Luangpraseuth, who collected harrowing survivor testimonials. Yet it took two more decades before the U.S. began allocating funds to clean up its mess. In 1993, funding remained under $3 million, barely a drop compared to the $50 billion it had cost to bomb a neutral country against which we never declared war. Today, millions of unexploded bombs remain, posing a deadly threat to children and their families. An estimated one-fourth of Laos is contaminated and less than 10 percent has been cleared. This burden hinders all aspects of life for the people of Laos, not only safety, but the long-term economic development. As we commemorate World Refugee Day on June 20, we also recognize two other important dates: 50 years since the end of the Vietnam War and 50 years since the largest refugee resettlement wave in U.S. history — a direct result of America's military actions in Southeast Asia. The Vietnam War affected not just the U.S. and Vietnam, but also Laos and Cambodia. Instead of celebrating our collective gains of peace with former adversaries, President Trump took office announcing a 90-day foreign aid freeze on January 20. All U.S.-funded programs were issued a stop-work order, including life-saving de-mining initiatives in Laos. This was no insignificant matter. During the freeze, there were nine casualties in Laos from unexploded ordnance, including the death of a 15-year-old girl. Thanks to persistent advocacy efforts from former U.S. ambassadors, veterans, youth and strong bipartisan Congressional support, funding for unexploded ordnance programs has resumed. but the damage during the halt is irreversible, and the trust between our country and the region is fragile. To its credit, the U.S. has worked to resolve the enduring legacies of war — efforts that have saved lives, supported vulnerable communities, and strengthened diplomacy. Foreign aid is a strategic investment in our nation's long-term interests and global stability. Nowhere is this more evident than in Southeast Asia, where U.S. assistance has shown clear and lasting benefits: improved safety, stronger economies, and deeper cooperation between nations. The U.S. began its post-war engagement by focusing on the recovery of Americans missing in action in 1985. The first American investigative team was approved by the Laotian government well before Laos and the U.S. normalized relations. The American team traveled to my childhood home, Pakse, Laos, to recover the remains of 13 service members lost in a 1972 plane crash. Since then, the U.S. has recovered more than 280 of the MIAs in Laos. This collaboration became the cornerstone for broader initiatives, such as the removal of unexploded ordnance and education about the dangers of explosive remnants of war. These preventative efforts, combined with de-mining, have led to a dramatic drop in casualties in Laos, from more than 300 annually to 60 or fewer in the last decade. Recognizing the value of these efforts, the U.S. now invests in similar programs globally and is the world's largest supporter of humanitarian de-mining, with more than $5 billion invested to date. These programs prove what long-term commitment and international cooperation can achieve — helping war-torn communities rebuild, heal, and thrive. As a former refugee, I view World Refugee Day as not just a day of reflection, but a reckoning — a test of our values, of whether we are willing to do right by those still living with the consequences of our past actions. If America is to lead with morality, it must continue investing in the recovery of countries like Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. That means sustained funding and genuine partnership — not the politics of the moment, but a humane foreign policy shaped by the lessons of our past. In the end, this is not only about Southeast Asia. It is about who we are and who we choose to be. America's legacy should not be measured by the bombs we dropped, but by the lives we choose to heal.

Son of Vietnam War Vet Detained by ICE
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The son of a Vietnam War veteran has been detained by federal immigration authorities, leaving his family devastated. Blong Yang, a longtime resident of the United States and the son of a war hero who fought alongside U.S. forces during the "Secret War" in Laos, was apprehended by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on April 30 while on his way to work in Lakeland, Minnesota. "This situation has been extremely heartbreaking and difficult," his daughter, Kylee Yang, told Newsweek in a statement. "We made the decision to post our GoFundMe because we needed immediate financial support and relief. However, this abrupt family separation has been traumatizing." Newsweek has contacted ICE for comment. Blong Yang, with his wife Anna and daughter Kylee before his April 30, 2025, apprehension by ICE. Blong Yang, with his wife Anna and daughter Kylee before his April 30, 2025, apprehension by ICE. Supplied Why It Matters President Donald Trump's administration is carrying out plans to deport millions of undocumented immigrants as part of a campaign pledge during the 2024 election. Trump vowed that the administration would target serious criminals. However, dozens of nonviolent immigrants without legal status have been detained by ICE. The immigration raids have raised concerns about lack of due process and of racial profiling. The White House has said anyone living in the country without legal status is a "criminal." What To Know Since Blong's detainment, the Yang family has been left reeling, grappling with emotional distress. Kylee described the anguish of being separated from her father in a GoFundMe post, as well as the constant concern for his safety while he remains locked up in ICE detention. The ripple effects of her father's arrest have caused significant financial strain, as the family has lost a key source of income. Kylee's mother, Anna, has been forced to miss work because of the overwhelming stress of managing the household and navigating the complex legal system. Blong, who has been married to Anna for nearly 25 years, is the cornerstone of the family. He is a father to Kylee (23), her sister (21) and two younger brothers (15 and 11). His absence is felt deeply, particularly by his younger sons. "If my dad is deported, it would tear him away from everything he's ever known and loved. His absence has been especially painful for my younger brothers," Kylee wrote on GoFundMe. Blong's journey to the United States is rooted in his family's history of service. He came to the U.S. as a refugee at age 2, following the Vietnam War. His father, who fought alongside U.S. forces, had been recruited and trained by the CIA, according to the GoFundMe post. After the U.S. withdrew from Southeast Asia, Blong's family was granted refuge in America. Kylee paints a picture of her father as a warm, caring individual who is a beloved member of his community. He is known for his sense of humor and his love for sports, particularly the NFL's Minnesota Vikings. Blong has also been an active member of his union, Teamsters Local 120, where he served as a union steward and was dedicated to protecting the rights of his colleagues. The circumstances surrounding Blong's detainment are tied to past mistakes he made when he was younger, according to his daughter. His daughter insists that the man he is today should not be defined by his past, but by the positive contributions he has made to his family and his community. The family is working with MN8, a local non-profit that supports Southeast Asians facing detention and deportation. Immigration courts are overwhelmed, with a backlog exceeding 3.7 million cases, according to Syracuse University's Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse. Asylum-seekers often wait years for a decision. There's broad political support for adding judges and staff to ease the burden. What People Are Saying Anna Yang, in a statement: "We know many of you feel compelled to defend our dad or share your own feelings about the injustice of his detainment, and we really appreciate that. But right now, our family is focused on reuniting with our dad, and creating space to process, grieve, and heal. "We are asking that when you share the link especially on social media you do it without engaging in comments. We're asking this out of care and caution, as any public dialogue could unintentionally lead to harmful backlash from federal government or put our family at more risk. This was a recommendation from MN8 and our attorney." Kylie Yang, in a GoFundMe post: "My dad has such a likable character. He's funny, a peacemaker, and gets along with literally everyone. "He has always been a hardworking, reliable man who is respected at work." What Happens Next As Blong's family battles against legal obstacles, they are also struggling to cover mounting fees, which are expected to exceed $10,000. The Yangs are appealing for support from their community to help navigate the challenges of immigration proceedings.

Vietnam 50 Years Later: Leng Wong, one of Minnesota's first Hmong refugees
Minnesota is built by immigrants who've enriched the state with diversity and innovation. One of those groups is the Hmong community. Minnesota is home to the largest Hmong population in the country, and it all started nearly 50 years ago when the Vietnam War ended with the fall of Saigon. Months after the fall, Leng Wong fled his home of Laos months after serving as a military officer in the Lao Armed Forces during the Secret War, a clandestine operation where the CIA recruited and trained thousands of Hmong men to fight on behalf of the U.S. "Flew missions into different parts of Laos, and I flew in American military operative, translate for them, talk to troops on the ground and relayed it to the American troops," Wong said. "I was traveling with so they could relay it back to the base or the headquarter and call for support." Wong served for 10 years, until the bitter end was inevitable. He knew it was no longer safe for him to stay. "They called us traitors, so they don't like us," he said. "It was so chaotic that we really didn't have time to think much about it other than how to survive." He and his family escaped on one of the C-130 cargo planes the Americans had sent to help evacuate refugees. "Just the clothes on our back. There was really nothing that we could bring with us," he said. They flew to Thailand, where they would stay for the next nine months. Then, news came of a sponsor. Leng Wong in the early 80s, and in 2025. Leng Wong/WCCO "There was a lot of uncertainty, what I would be facing in a new land," Wong said. He arrived at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, in the bitter cold, on Feb. 7, 1976. "I was having trouble catching my breath because it was so cold, and we're not used to that type of cold in our home country," he said. Frigid, and foreign, Wong was often met with a cold shoulder. He says his biggest barriers at first were language and culture. "Initially, we were faced with some resentment from the community as well, thinking that we were here taking away services," he said. Even so, Wong still felt the need to help others just like him. He made it his aim to improve the lives of other Hmong people who would be following in his footsteps. "I was able to communicate and translate for people, so I'd be busy day and night," he said. "We'd be at the hospital, the clinic, at the airport." Wong would spend years working for refugee programs with Lutheran Social Services and the state, helping people find jobs and working with employers to create those jobs. He'd also advocate for policy changes in support of refugees, all while traveling across Minnesota, and eventually across the country, to break down barriers and to educate others on the Hmong people. These days, Wong owns several commercial buildings across the Twin Cities, and also has his sights set on building more affordable housing for all Minnesota families. "I don't think I'll ever retire. I think I will continue to advocate for our community and to work and contribute back to our community, as well as the community at large," he said. Wong is a humble servant, forever thankful for the new land, and its people who accepted him. "Minnesota's been good to me. It's always cold, but the people in Minnesota are warm hearts," he said. "We know this is where we belong now, but we still have a part of our heart on the other side of the world that we know we belong there, too." EDITOR'S NOTE: Dang Her and his family were the first Hmong immigrants to come to Minnesota in November 1975, according to the Minnesota Historical Society. Leng Wong's family came as the first Hmong refugees in February 1976, according to the Hmong American Partnership. This story is part of Pauleen Le's documentary "Vietnam 50 Years Later: Reflection on a War that Changed Minnesota."

MN House passes bill recognizing Hmong, Lao veterans of ‘Secret War'
Minnesota is on its way to officially recognizing the service of Hmong and Lao and other veterans who fought alongside the U.S. in the 'Secret War' during the 1960s and 1970s in Laos. A veterans and military affairs bill passed by the state House on Tuesday night creates a path to grant official state veteran status for fighters recruited into Special Guerrilla Units by the CIA during the Vietnam War to fight communist forces in Southeast Asia. The anniversary of the fall of Saigon this week marks 50 years since the U.S. ended its involvement in Vietnam, and supporters of the bill gathered at the state Capitol with surviving veterans of the Secret War to call for greater recognition. 'Today, we say their service matters, their sacrifice matters, their story is American history,' said Rep. Jay Xiong, DFL-St. Paul, co-author of the veterans bill and the son and grandson of Hmong soldiers. He added: 'Recognizing SGUs isn't just symbolic, it's a long overdue act of respect.' 'Burden of being forgotten' Ya Lee, a Special Guerrilla Unit veteran who flew T-28 warplanes, said there is limited time to recognize surviving veterans for their sacrifices, and that they carry the 'burden of being forgotten.' Lee, who said he is among 10 remaining T-28 pilots living in the U.S., was among dozens of veterans at the Capitol on Tuesday who showed up in military uniforms to support the bill. At a news conference promoting the bill, Rep. Kaohly Vang Her, DFL-St. Paul, said it's not exactly clear how many SGU veterans remain in Minnesota, but that it's likely fewer than 1,000. During the 1960s and 1970s, many groups across Southeast Asia found themselves drawn into a U.S. war against communist forces within and beyond the borders of Vietnam. Many faced persecution by their governments as a result, with many hundreds of thousands fleeing their homes and eventually ending up in the U.S. But official recognition for their contributions to the war efforts remained elusive for decades. Legislation The House passed a large veterans and military affairs bill containing the Secret War acknowledgement language by a vote of 126-6 on Tuesday, though it'll need a little more work since it differs from the version passed by the Senate. Once those have been smoothed over in a conference committee, the House and Senate will have to vote once again before it can go to Gov. Tim Walz. If signed into law by the governor, the bill would create a definition for veterans of the Secret War in Laos and criteria for eligibility for benefits and privileges for veterans. Those include designation as a veteran on driver's licenses and ID cards, access to state veterans cemeteries, and access to preference in private employment. Anyone who became a citizen under the Hmong Veterans Naturalization Act of 2000 will automatically get Secret War veteran status. Eligibility also extends to those who received a Medal of Honor, Purple Heart or other military award for service in support of the U.S. military operating in Laos. Beyond immediate recognition of veterans who got citizenship for their service, the Minnesota commissioner of Veterans Affairs would be empowered to recognize veterans who served with a special guerrilla unit or other forces that operated from a base in Laos between February 1961 and May 1975. State task force A state task force created by the bill is charged with overseeing the process for official recognition. It is to include the Minnesota veterans commissioner, a U.S. Veterans Affairs Department official, a Hmong American Minnesota resident who served in the military, two Secret War veterans, a U.S. Vietnam veteran and other history and veterans' issues specialists. While the bill creates a process to recognize anyone involved in the Secret War in Laos, a group backing a bill earlier this legislative session to recognize Vietnamese, Lao and Cambodian veterans expressed disappointment that language didn't mention those groups by name. Bana Soumetho, who was born to Lao refugee parents in Thailand and has been working to establish explicit recognition for a broader group of Secret War veterans in state law, expressed her frustration in an email. 'This year marked what may have been the final meaningful opportunity for many of our aging veterans to receive public acknowledgment,' she wrote. 'Instead, it became a painful reminder of how easily their stories can be overlooked — even when the intent is recognition.' ___ © 2025 MediaNews Group, Inc.
