A letter from the British government classifying Paulette Wilson as an illegal immigrant shook her sense of identity and belonging. ‘Hostile environment’ policies years in the making meant that Wilson and other victims of the Windrush scandal had their right to residency in the UK called into question. She had been detained for a week pending imminent deportation though she had done nothing wrong. It was devastating, but luckily she was released before she was deported. Here we follow Wilson as she returns to Jamaica for the first time in 50 years, trying to make sense of her place in the world and rebuild a sense of security and belonging

Yes, especially in the era of Trump and his evil White Nationalism and dangerous Radical Christianity terror, but his victims are not only foreign born Americans, but many who are 2 to 3 and more generations out.
In addition I still have great faith in the American justice system to sort things out... eventually
