Tony Thangsongcharoen and his wife Somnuek ran a Garland, Texas, wedding boutique for three decades, selling wedding gowns and tuxedos to their community. They moved to America from Thailand in 1983, investing their life’s savings into starting a small bridal boutique.

One March morning in 2015, it all came crashing down. IRS agents seized the Thangsongcharoens’ store, Mii’s Bridal & Tuxedo, holding an impromptu fire sale and auctioning off the store’s designer goods to recover unpaid taxes allegedly owed to the government.
