After nine months in ICE detention in Aurora, Colorado, renowned immigration activist Jeanette Vizguerra spoke with Latino USA on her first day of freedom.

Just months after Trump took office this year, she was arrested and shackled by ICE agents during her lunch break at work. Her attorneys say she was targeted because of her political activism.

While still detained, Latino USA conducted an exclusive interview with Vizguerra, during which she told Maria Hinojosa she was “a political prisoner.”

Days before Christmas, Vizguerra was released from ICE custody after nine months of confinement. @maria_la_hinojosa and @latinousa spoke with her again on her first day of freedom.

Here are three takeaways from the new Juan Gabriel documentary “Debo, Puedo y Quiero” on @netflix from our Juanga resident expert, @nopalita_mami!

 1. It captures the duality of his life: Alberto, the man v. Juanga, the performer

 2. It references the way he played with sexual ambiguity in a very artful way

 3. It reveals nearly 50 years of footage he saved because Juan Gabriel knew his story would become cultural patrimony

And if you want more Juanga content you won’t find anywhere else, listen to “My Divo,” hosted by @futuromedia’s @nopalita_mami wherever you get your podcasts!
