Aung* was finishing his studies in New York when Myanmar’s junta tried to conscript him into the civil war raging in his homeland.
Terrified by the idea, Aung applied for Temporary Protective Status (TPS) in the United States, hoping that by the time he finished his degree the conflict might have calmed. Instead, the war has only escalated.
