Immigration officials have been doing a lot of things lately that seem very hard to explain,
ignoring court orders, shooting civilians.
And when asked why these things are happening, as we've all seen,
we don't exactly get a frank and honest account from officials,
but we get our talking points, many of which don't turn out to be true.
But recently, refreshingly, two different lawyers who worked for ICE stepped forward,
separately, and lifted the curtain.
to reveal all kinds of details about what is really happening right now inside our immigration system.
And I know there have been a couple of quotes from each of these people in the news,
but I have to say,
when you dive into the details of everything that they witnessed,
it's satisfying in this way that I really didn't even know I craved.
Because they're not talking about like this or that specific incident,
but about the entire system being broken and they lay it out.
Today on our show, what we're gonna do is we're gonna bring you their stories,
and I think you'll see what I mean.
From WBEZ Chicago, it's This American Life, I'm Eric Glass,
and we're just gonna jump right in right now with act one.
Act one, I got the memo.
Okay, so this thing just happened two weeks ago,
