Ex-Hong Kong lawmaker Baggio Leung flees city for Washington
Sixtus Baggio Leung Chung-hang, 34, had "meeting with some congressmen and also some officers from the government" to ask for asylum for 2oo Hongkongers who were born after the British handover in 1997, without BN(O) passport.
In Early Dec 2020, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to give Hong Kong residents "Temporary Protected Status," which would allow them to live and work in the U.S. for five years and is usually only issued to protect people from war-ravaged nations, such as Somalia, Syria and Yemen. The move still needs approval from the Senate.
