BONUS EPISODE: Easter Joy! Brian and Joe share stories of joy as migrants legally enter the U.S. and reunite with family and friends

In this bonus episode, Brian and Joe share stories of Easter joy. After a season dedicated to Lenten themes, this bonus episode shares moments of joy that break through even the most challenging moments of life, like a migrant journey. Brian recounts a recent trip to St. Louis, where he became travel partners with Oscar, a Honduran migrant who had lived at Casa del Migrante in Reynosa for months. They decided to surprise Oscar’s family when they got to St. Louis, and the plan came together perfectly. Joe tells the story of Marta and her five daughters, who waited for their CBP One appointment for eight long months. When Brian and Joe weren’t able to give them a proper send-off before their appointment with immigration, they made a plan to surprise them as they finished their appointment and walked into the U.S. There were shouts of joy, tears, and (of course) a trip to McDonald’s. The big question was: would the ice cream machine be working??
