After an incarcerated firefighter was nearly killed on the frontlines, California delivered him to Ice
Bounchan Keola, 39, had just two weeks left in his prison term when he was crushed by a tree while battling the destructive Zogg fire in northern California on 2 October and airlifted to a hospital. Days later, California prison officials notified federal immigration agents that his release would be coming up, and the state, records show, made arrangements to directly transfer him into Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice).
Keola could now be deported to Laos, a country he left when he was four.
