The First Vietnamese Federal Judge

Isn't it amazing, in less than a generation, assimilation into the American Dream....

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationwo...,7389553.story

Judge Jacqueline H. Nguyen of Los Angeles, appointed to U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals / May 7, 2012

The Senate also approved Kristine Gerhard Baker of Arkansas and John Lee of Illinois to federal district courts — making Lee the second Korean American on a federal district court.

When Obama announced Nguyen's nomination last fall, he called her a trailblazer.

Nguyen fled Vietnam as a girl with her family as Saigon fell in 1975. They lived temporarily in a tent city at Camp Pendleton before settling in the Los Angeles area.
