About this episode

Ana Navarro mourns the death of Kevin Gonzalez, an 18-year-old who faced tragic circumstances due to immigration issues and terminal cancer.

In this special bonus episode, Ana mourns the death of Kevin Gonzalez, an 18-year-old from Chicago with terminal colon cancer. When his parents were detained by ICE in Arizona, Kevin spent nearly a month without them in his final days — and died just one day after his parents were released and reunited with him. She urges us all to share his story and remember his name when we vote. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
