Back Porch Files: The Deaths We're Not Talking About

from Your Neighbor on the Left Podcast · host Your Neighbor on the Left

In only the first month of 2026, the deaths of Renée Good and Alex Pretti shocked the nation and sparked widespread outrage over federal immigration enforcement. But they were not the only ones who died. In the same weeks, at least six other people lost their lives in ICE custody — men from Honduras, Cambodia, Mexico, and Nicaragua whose names made few headlines. This episode looks beyond the viral videos and high-profile cases to examine the full human cost of enforcement, the patterns that keep repeating inside detention centers, and the uncomfortable truth about which deaths America chooses to see. Because justice doesn’t work if our empathy is selective — and silence can be just as deadly as violence. Visit the podcast website at https://www.neighborontheleft.com
