The story follows Eriah Nahnie, a Liberian refugee detained in Massachusetts after arriving in America as a child. Despite raising a family and believing his asylum status protected him, he now faces removal to Liberia—a nation he has no ties to and barely recalls. His case highlights a broader pattern of Liberians being targeted under mass deportations, with some even sent to third countries they have never lived in. Families are left in heartbreaking limbo, children separated from parents, and questions mounting about the human cost of these policies.
