Ten years ago this month, eight Cambodian-Minnesotans were detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Their families rallied around them. And an organization named Minnesota8 formed around efforts to release these men and bring them home.

Montha Chum is the executive director of Minnesota8 and the sister of one of those original eight men.
