LETTER: Reader displeased with Asian Weekly coverage
Dear Editor, Your reporter, Mahlon Meyer, truly botched up the reporting of last month’s kick-off event for the proposed Chinatown Surveillance Project.

LETTER: Washington’s Vietnamese legislators decry Trump actions
As the first Vietnamese American elected state legislators, we are outraged by the current administration’s attempt to re-negotiate the 2008 Memo of Understanding between the United States and Vietnam. This MOU established the protected status for Vietnamese refugees arriving the U.S. before 1995. As Vietnamese refugees, we experienced first-hand the political reasons to seek refuge […]
