John Detsavanh, 52, and his brother Mike Detsavanh, 50, both barbers who worked at a Providence barbershop, were held in federal custody at the Wyatt Detention Facility in Central Falls, Rhode Island. While they were detained, members of Rhode Island's Lao community gathered at a banquet hall in East Providence to celebrate and support them, with Detsavanh's daughter Olivia holding up her phone so attendees could speak to her father and uncle by phone. The brothers were later deported, leaving the local Lao community reeling.
