(Part 2 of 2) Thanks for coming back! Previously we talked about immigration issues and the portrayal of immigrants on train wreck TV shows like 90 Day Fiancé. Let’s now get into the details of Brandon and Julia’s story and see if any laws are being abused…or any people for that matter!

Other 90 Day Fiancé couples discussed: Colt & Larissa, Rose & Big Ed, Syngin & Tania. Additional law topics discussed: gun control; church/state separation (e.g. Pulpit Freedom Sunday).

Content warning: contains discussion of suicide, gun violence, domestic violence, and terrorism.

Error correction: Julia is from Krasnodar, not Moscow.
