On the pod today we have Ogden City Councilmen Luis Lopez. Luis was born and reared in Guadalajara, Jalisco – Mexico. Under intense pressure from the Mexican government he and his family immigrated to the United States at the age of 19 under the protection of the DEA. In this episode we explore his experiences during an extremely difficult time in his life as he and his family were seeking political asylum here in the United States. His story was detailed in the NY Times back in 2013. https://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/29/us/us-mexico-dea-informant.html
