The third episode of Deliver U.S. from Dehumanization tells the story of a dreamer, a Dream Act (DACA) recipient who was brought to the United States at just 13 years old, went to school, worked, and built a family here, only to be taken away and locked inside one of the country’s most notorious detention centers known as “Alligator Alcatraz.” This story reflects the brutal reality of our political climate today, where even those once protected are now being detained by the very laws that promised them safety.

This episode questions the limits of the law and the fragility of DACA. How safe are our Dreamers? Does this mean every single DACA recipient is vulnerable to deportation? How strong is the protection DACA was meant to provide? These are questions we seek to answer in this week's episode.

If you’ve been impacted by deportation, detention, or the constant fear of being seen as “other,” I want to hear from you. Your stories deserve space. Your voice deserves to be heard.

The second episode of Deliver U.S. from Dehumanization tells the story of a young Guatemalan boy who was detained for nothing more than standing outside a motel, talking on the phone with his mother. His case reflects a painful reality—how stereotyping, fear, and bias can lead to injustice and cause irreversible harm.

This episode examines our justice system and the ways personal biases can shape outcomes, even leading to the wrongful criminalization of a teenager with his entire life ahead of him. How does a 19-year-old recover from that kind of trauma? How many others never get the chance?

The first episode of Deliver U.S. from Dehumanization opens with my experience growing up in an immigrant-parent household. This story reflects a reality shared by many children who live with the fear, uncertainty, and emotional weight created by our immigration system.

This episode asks a question that goes beyond policy or politics: What are we doing to our children? How does the cruelty of deportation and government action affect not just the individual, but the young ones who grow up afraid their parents may never come back?
