The Bhutanese immigrant community says at least “a dozen” of its members have been caught up in the Trump administration’s brutal detention and deportation crackdown. Those targeted are refugees who fled persecution of Bhutan’s ethnic Nepali community and came to the U.S. under a program started nearly two decades ago by President George W. Bush. Their immigration status is not in question, but they’ve reportedly been targeted because they have criminal records.
