Jerce Reyes Barrios was a pro soccer player in Venezuela — an underdog living a sports-movie dream. Then he became an immigrant to Trump's America: The administration accused Jerce of being a gang member. ICE flew him to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. And his family hasn't spoken to him since. All of this... for a tattoo about his favorite football club. Paola Ramos reports on how Jerce escaped one dictator, only to be trapped by another, thanks to the very collapse of American democracy itself.• Read Paola Ramos' book, "Defectors: The Rise of the Latino Far Right and What It Means for America"https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/741645/defectors-by-paola-ramos/ Hosted on Acast.
