Sae Joon Park, a 55-year-old U.S. Army Veteran and Purple Heart recipient, has just self-deported to South Korea, after living in the United States on a green card since he was just 7-years-old.

" I can't believe that this is happening in America," Park said to NPR in an interview. "That blows me away, like a country that I fought for."

Park enlisted in the military after high school. "I wanted direction and [to] better myself and maybe help serve the country," he told NPR.

At 20-years-old, Park was deployed to Panama where he was shot in the back twice. Afterward, he was honorably discharged and awarded the Purple Heart for his bravery.

According to court documents filed in Maryland, four real estate professionals from northern Virginia are suing United Airlines for racial discrimination, negligence/breach of duty, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. �

Jacquelyn Chiao, Christine Kim, Adriana Parvanova, and Danielle Simmons attended a real estate convention in Las Vegas in August 2024. On their return flight, the plane was diverted from Dulles to Baltimore due to weather, and passengers were forced to remain onboard for over five hours, which is in violation of Federal Aviation Regulations.

During this delay, John Doe, their colleague began to sweat and experience severe chest pain. A flight attendant rudely asked him if he was having a heart attack but then dismissed his pain as a panic attack. Chiao, an Asian woman, asked the attendant why she was being so rude, and asked her to show compassion to a passenger who was in distress.

Eventually, passengers deplaned and waited an additional hour before re-boarding. When re-boarding began, Kim, another Asian woman, was denied entry back on the plane without explanation other than the captain's decision.

“They might arrest you because you look like an immigrant,” a 7-year-old boy said to his father as they unloaded their van while a police siren echoed down the street.

“He wasn’t scared. But I was. Not because I expected to be arrested, even as a Chinese Malaysian American with U.S. citizenship, but because I suddenly saw how early the burden begins,” Seeyew Mo wrote on his Substack. “When did America become a place where a child’s innocence could give way to fear, where the new American Dream is being careful instead of being carefree?”

“America has a way of revealing itself through the eyes of your children,” the father continued. “They notice what the adults around them try to normalize, minimize, or explain away. Sometimes they name the truth out loud before we face it ourselves. My citizenship didn’t shield me from my son’s observation. It just made the disconnect feel more real. Even a child can sense the gap between the ideals we celebrate and the reality we live.”

If you were the parent in this situation, how would you have felt or reacted?

‘The Joy Luck Club’ daughters—Ming-Na Wen, Rosalind Chao, Tamlyn Tomita and Lauren Tom—have reunited more than 30 years after their critically acclaimed film hit screens in 1993.

The four spoke with TODAY about the impact of the film and their sisterhood that’s kept them together for more than three decades.

“Generation after generation gets to see this film. But also, I think they still react the same as they did 30 years ago,” Ming-Na says. “A lot of the young Asian Americans and non-Asian Americans, they still feel the value of the immigrant story and the familial story between the mothers and the daughters. They all have such amazing stories of how it impacted them, and I think that’s a real testament of Amy Tan’s storytelling, that it transcends time.”

Oprah Winfrey has selected Ocean Vuong’s latest book, “The Emperor of Gladness,” as the newest title for her Oprah’s Book Club.

“I picked it because I thought it was some of the most beautiful writing I’ve experienced in my lifetime,” Oprah said on CBS Mornings. “I think it’s poetic literature, and I think that Ocean Vuong’s ability to capture the essence of just ordinary people is like nobody I’ve ever experienced.”

In an Instagram post, Ocean said, “I only wish my mom was alive to see this. Out of all the “achievements” a writer could have, this one would be the most legible and valued by her.”

Oprah reiterated her selection of the Vietnamese American’s work. “May I say, those of you who are Ocean Vuong fans understand what a beautiful writer he is,” Oprah said. “If you haven’t been introduced to him, he is one of America’s greatest treasures as writers. I mean, it’s one of the best books, I’ve ever ever read.”
