After the FBI served search warrants at several locations linked to Viet American society as well as a Tustin home, which is owned by Do according to property records, the Orange County Board of SUpervisors censured Do, issuing a public condemnation.
Supervisor Foley called on Attorney General Rob Bonta to remove Do from office, citing the search of his home and the state election law that requires supervisors to live in the district they represent.
