Cambodian American domestic abuse survivor graduates from college after serving 16 years in prison

A Cambodian American woman who faced deportation after serving 16 years in prison has graduated from college.

Ny Nourn, who immigrated to the U.S. at age 5, thanked everyone who never gave up on her while she pursued a bachelor of arts degree in sociology from San Francisco State University.

Nourn was detained by ICE in 2017 after being incarcerated for 16 years for her role in the killing of her former boss, David Stevens, in 1998. She was convicted of first-degree murder in 2003.

Nourn proved during her trial that she suffered from battered women’s syndrome from Ron Barker, her then-boyfriend.

Barker planned to kill Stevens after he found out Nourn had sex with her boss. Nourn told police she believed Barker would kill her as well if she didn't cooperate.

“Ny Nourn was released from prison after serving a life sentence; however with an immigration hold facing deportation to Cambodia, Ny was immediately arrested by ICE,” the Northern California Grantmakers said in its profile of Nourn. “After 6 months in detention with outpouring of community support, Ny walked out of ICE detention as a free person.”
