Pham attempted to run for public office once, losing the election in 2015. He then became the superintendent for the Virginia Peninsula Regional Jail, creating various programs including an addiction recovery program, an ankle monitor program, and an introduction of tablets which earned him praise from local media outlets. He resigned in December 2019 before becoming the director of ICE.[3][4] He resigned at the end of the year.[5][6]
Pham was born in 1973 in what was then South Vietnam. His father was an engineer for the South Vietnamese Army.[7] On April 19, 1975, Pham and his family immigrated to the United States days before the fall of Saigon, with his father being left behind during their evacuation. They were aided by a family friend, an ambassador named John "Jerry" Edwards, who wrote a letter that said that Pham's father was his brother-in-law and a captain, although this was false.[8][9] They settled at Fort Chaffee Maneuver Training Center, reuniting with their father three months later and moved to Henrico County, Virginia with the help of Commonwealth Catholic Charities.[10][11] He and his family lived off an apartment off Parham Road, where they struggled to learn English.[12] Both his parents worked minimum wage jobs and stressed to Pham and his siblings to study and work hard.[13] In 1985, after 10 years in America, he became a United States citizen and graduated from Meadowbrook High School in 1991.[14] Pham graduated from the College of William & Mary in 1995 and the University of University of Richmond School of Law in 1999. He then served as a law clerk in the Circuit Court of Henrico County before becoming a prosecutor in the Richmond Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office.
In 2009, Pham was recognized as one of Richmond's "Top 40 Under 40.[15] One year later, he was selected as one of Virginia Lawyers Weekly’s “Leaders in the Law” for his leadership in criminal law and the Asian American community. He has further been recognized in 2011 and 2012 as one Virginia Business’s "Legal Elite in Criminal Law." After being awarded, Pham was selected by the Supreme Court of Virginia to serve on the Virginia State Bar Disciplinary Board, the first ever Asian American attorney appointed to this position. He then served as a faculty of the Harry L. Carrico Professionalism Course on behalf of the Bar. In 2010, Pham was appointed to the Virginia Asian Advisory Board by Governor Tim Kaine, being reappointed by Bob McDonnell in 2014.[16][17] In 2013, he sought to fill the vacancy in the Three Chopt District School Board, saying that he wanted to be "part of the process of ensuring a quality education not only for my children, but all children."[18][19]
2015 Henrico County Commonwealth's Attorney campaign
On February 23, 2015, Pham announced his candidacy for the Henrico County Commonwealth's Attorney, being the fourth Republican to do so.[20] He sought to replace the incumbent Attorney Shannon Taylor, the only Democratic attorney in the race.[21][22] After the primary, a faulty report from the Pinchbeck Precinct was fixed, giving Pham the lead over the other nominees.[23] Pham was declared the winner the week after, winning by 67 votes, and was endorsed by the Henrico School Board.[24][25] Pham lost to Taylor with a 12.41% difference in the general election.[26][27]
Superintendent for the Virginia Peninsula Regional Jail
In 2017, Pham became the superintendent for the Virginia Peninsula Regional Jail after the previous superintendent, John Kuplinski, resigned from the post.[28] In 2019, Pham introduced various programs and reforms in the jail. An addiction recovery program, introducer in early 2019, empowered inmates with substance abuse disorders so that they could re-enter society, with Virginia Secretary of Public SafetyBrian Moran calling it "an example that should be shared among other jails across the state."[29][30][31] An ankle monitoring program, introducer months after, allowed inmates to be at home, at work, and visit the jail.[32] In April 2019, Pham introduced tablet computers to the jail, which allowed inmates to have video calls with their families.[33][34]
During his time as superintendent, the VPRJ was sued by former inmates accusing the jail of failing to keep the women safe. They also sued Kuplinski, Vice Chairman J. Randall Wheeler and former corrections officer Henry Rhim, the latter had been convicted for sexually assaulting two inmates.[35][36] With the accusations, Pham started an internal investigations unit to review and report findings to him, as well as instituting stronger segregation between men and women.[37][38][39] There was also an incident where a female inmate claimed that, during detoxification, she and other inmates were "treated worse than animals," although Pham disputed the story.[40]
In December 2019, Pham announced that he would be resigning from the post at the end of the year to spend time with his family.[41]
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
On January 24, 2020, Pham became the Principal Legal Advisor for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement under Acting Director Matthew Albence.[42][43] In August 2020, Pham was appointed by President Donald Trump to replace Albence after he resigned, becoming the first Asian-American and Vietnamese person in the office.[44] The agency's first few weeks under Pham saw 128 undocumented immigrants detained in California as a part of Operation Rise, an initiative that was criticized for targeting sanctuary cities.[45] He was also criticized for signing off on erecting controversial billboards in Pennsylvania as well as conducting arrests in Minneapolis–Saint Paul.[46][47][48]
Many Asian Americans expressed disappointment that Pham would become the director of ICE, criticizing him for deporting immigrants while being an immigrant himself.[49] Philippa Hughes, Pham's cousin, published several op-ed's that criticized Pham and questioned his claim that he had a "lawful path to citizenship."[8][50][51] Other groups, like the Organization of Chinese Americans, were hopeful that because of Pham being an immigrant, that he would have reforms in the agency.[52][53] The announcement of Pham's appointment also triggered protests against him.[54][55] Some protesters gathered at Pham's home in Henrico, with some protesters, including a Philadelphia woman, were charged for entering the property.[56][57][58] Some called for attorney Shannon Taylor to release the protesters,[59][60] while Pham reacted by saying that he understood the frustration but condemned the manner of the protest.[61]
In December 2020, Pham announced that he would be resigning from the post at the end of the year to be with his family.[62][63] The departure came five months after he replaced Albence, with Pham thanking Trump for the opportunity.[64][65] With his resignation, two advocacy groups claimed said that he would be remembered for his "gross abuse of power" with "little regard for our refugee and immigrant communities’ health and safety during a global pandemic."[66][67]
