A similar thing happened with south Vietnamese military refugees in the US

They had a plan to invade Vietnam and retake it. When Vietnamese journalists and other refugees criticized the officers and generals for either defrauding supporters or simply saying it was tactically impractical, they were assassinated. I haven’t read it in a while, but I believe there was one centrist who wanted to make peace with the new government and he suffered the most gruesome killing.

The FBI knew about this and never bothered to do anything.

Thanks for reminding me of the skateboarding movie Gleaming the Cube from 1989, a great classic film, the antagonists are connected to Anticommunist groups from Vietnam and skating teenagers have to save the day, including Tony Hawk and Rodney Mullen.
