MPR’s Toni Randolph reports on viewpoints in Hmong community about General Vang Pao and the support for him after his U.S. arrest. While he has been in the United States for about 30 years, and no longer a military leader, he's still an important figure in Hmong history in America.
Former Minnesota U.S. Attorney Tom Heffelfinger says he's working with members of the Hmong community in the defense of General Vang Pao. Pao and eight others were indicted by federal authorities yesterday on charges they conspired to topple the government in Laos.
