Episode Details

An 18-year-old asylum seeker, Wilber Urbina Garcia, was detained by ICE the day after graduating high school—despite having a clean record and being paroled while his case was pending. Separated from his family in Nicaragua, he was thrown into a detention center far from home, surrounded by older inmates who formed an unexpected brotherhood to support him. After 16 days, a legal victory freed him, allowing him to return home, reunite with his mom, and start rebuilding his future—dreaming of becoming a doctor while his family continues their fight for justice.
