A compelling short documentary exploring the near deportation of Grand Rapids-born U.S. citizen, Marine, and combat veteran Jilmar Ramos Gomez. This film scrutinizes the system that nearly expelled him, the collaboration between local law enforcement and I.C.E., and raises critical questions about who gets to define what it means to be American. Reflecting on the treatment of Veterans, both of color and otherwise, it serves as a powerful reminder that change begins at the local level—even when it feels impossible in Washington.
