In this episode of Eyes on Intel, we examine four distinct developments across the U.S. immigration apparatus and the human impact behind the policies:

  • Segment 1: An asylum-seeker in the U.S. self-deported back to Guatemala to reunite with her husband. Two weeks later, both were found dead in a sugarcane field, with their 14-month-old child crying beside them.
  • Segment 2: The State of Minnesota is allowing ICE to reactivate CoreCivic’s dormant Prairie Correctional Facility in Appleton, expanding private, for-profit detention hubs in the Upper Midwest.
  • Segment 3: The case of Pastor Gabriel Johnson from Cary, NC. Denied basic food, water, and daily medications for 16 days while in ICE custody, he suffered a severe stroke resulting in paralysis. (Verified GoFundMe link is included at the top of the show notes to support his recovery and family).
  • Segment 4: The legal reality of civil immigration courts forcing children as young as three years old to stand in court and defend themselves in removal proceedings without court-appointed counsel.
