When Diane Guerrero, star of Orange Is the New Black and Jane the Virgin, was 14, she returned home to find her house vacant. Her parents and brother, she soon learned, had been deported to Colombia. Now the Colombian actress advocates fiercely for an end to undocumented immigrant deportation.
“Whatever our personal reasons—whether we were born here or our parents came here for a shot at the American dream,” Guerrero says in a video from the Immigrant Legal Resource Center, “We need to stand up to reactionary policies aimed at targeting and criminalizing the immigrant community.”
