Painful Silence
The ICE raids of 2019 saw the sudden attempted deportation of four Cambodian refugees, galvanizing Oakland’s Cambodian community to stand up and fight back. Tracing these events, A Path to Healing spotlights Cambodian members of CERI’s (the Center for Empowering Refugees and Immigrants) community, the obstacles they face, and the variety of experiences felt by first- and second-generation Cambodian refugees living in Oakland.
