Some of those folks in their idiocy didn't apply for citizenship when they could and now we have relations with those nations the refuge/asylum status that they have been under on residency grounds are invalid and thus invalidate their legal status, and they get deported.
My advice to any Eastern European or any state we now have ties with like Libya is, if you haven't yet applied for citizenship and you came over 30 years ago on Asylum/refuge status, don't now try apply for citizenship if you have gone through the 5 year residency requirements, you won't get it and you'll be deported, try keep a low profile.

Yes, that is pretty shocking. And assuming their asylum/refugee were based on legitimate grounds, there's a possibility they will be locked up and tortured when sent back. That means the US would be violating UN Charters/ International law.
Mr. Ng probabily was not aware of his breaking the law. He thought he was legal and thus tried to apply for a green card. Bad move, cost his life. The system is such that sometimes you had better stay illegal than attracting attention to yourself.
