ICE deported Mone Khambounleung and Billy Sangvone to Loas in 2025, a country they barely remember living in before they immigrated to the states as the children of refugees. Both men had criminal records and became targets under the Trump administration’s sweeping immigration crackdown. Today, Mone makes lifestyle content on his YouTube and social media accounts, documenting everyday life in Laos in his thick Louisiana accent, introducing the locals to Americanisms like southern BBQ. Billy volunteers his time as an English teacher and regularly appears in Mone’s videos (often seen making crawfish for friends and family). In this episode, Carlo gets to know these two unmistakably American men — their deportation experience, rehabilitation and acclimation to their new lives in Laos.Billy’s petition: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-reunite-panomphet-billy-sangvone-with-family?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAcGRvZgJzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA85MzY2MTk3NDMzOTI0NTkAAacU1O9OiM0qDVS0CqMsvgKi5DBxcKcEL8Ak-nSUjN4S0-Fbc8QbZWltZ2A04Q_aem_gV03PZDl7ySOIc-LwoM4bA&utm_id=97760_v0_s00_e0_tv3&cp_src=d Follow Billy https://www.tiktok.com/@4noboundaries?_r=1&_t=ZP-9AbThpVIGdj https://www.instagram.com/billy.sang_/Follow Monehttps://www.instagram.com/mones_pov/ https://www.tiktok.com/@monespov https://www.youtube.com/@monepov See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
