HO CHI MINH CITY -- Dozens of officials are set to fly to Quy Nhon, a coastal town in central Vietnam, for a training program by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. Some Asian groups in the United States dismissed the program as a taxpayer-funded "vacation" at a time when ICE raids have resulted in Vietnamese dying or being deported to third countries.
