Hey everybody, Robert Evans here, and I wanted to let you know this is a compilation episode, so every episode of the week that just happened is here in one convenient and with somewhat less ads package for you to listen to in a long stretch if you want. If you've been listening to the episodes every day this week, there's going to be nothing new here for you, but you can make your own decisions. Hello, dear listener. My name is Carlos Perrios Polanco, and I'm a journalist from Puerto Rico. I'm here with... It's me, James Stout. I'm a journalist who lives in San Diego.
Thank you for being here, James. Today, I'm here to talk to you about the Dominican Republic's immigration system and how it has been shaped by the US's immigration system to kind of function as a part of the US border outside of what we would normally consider the US's border. And instead of diving in immediately to that, I want to start this episode by talking a little bit about the tragic death of Ezra Francis Hullett, a trans person from the United States in immigration detention in the Dominican Republic. I should mention that they use both they, them and he, him pronouns. However, I'm going to be using they, them going forward because that's what the friends and family of Hullett put as their pronouns in the GoFundMe podcast.
They were found dead in the Jaina Immigration Detention Center, the biggest immigration detention center in the Dominican Republic on June 23rd, 2025. The GoFundMe set up by their family to bring their body back to the States describes them as a compassionate and sensitive person who lived with mental health issues and the after effects of childhood trauma. They were 24 and a really good artist from looking at their Instagram.
