Vietnamese Immigrant Detained After 20 Years on Supervised Release

Mar 5, 2026 · Fountain Valley, CA, Vietnam

Dung Van Trieu, a Vietnamese immigrant who arrived in the U.S. in 1991 as a lawful permanent resident, was arrested by immigration authorities outside his home on March 5, 2026. He had been living in the community on supervised release since 2006 after his removal to Vietnam proved impracticable following a 2004 conviction. The court ordered his immediate release, finding the government failed to demonstrate his removal was reasonably foreseeable and violated procedures for revoking his supervised release.
