Why did a young Rudy Giuliani have tea with Haiti's dictator in 1982? To answer that question, we’ll have to go back to 1968 when a 24 year-old Giuliani was just graduating from law school.

But in just 7 years, Giuliani would change cities, change jobs, change political parties and establish what we now call: immigration detention centers.
