Episode Details

Actress and activist, Diane Guerrero candidly reveals details of the night immigration officials deported her parents, leaving her without her family at age 14. Diane Guerrero is an actress and activist best known for her roles in Orange Is the New Black, Jane the Virgin, Doom Patrol and Encanto — but her most important story has nothing to do with Hollywood. When she was fourteen years old, she came home from school to find her parents gone. Immigration officers had arrested them while she was away. No government agency called to check on her. No social worker came to the door. As the only U.S. citizen in her immediate family, she was left to navigate the rest of her childhood alone, taken in by friends' parents, building a life from nothing. For years she kept it secret. Today she is one of the most prominent voices in the country on the human cost of deportation, and what it means to be left behind.
