Jonatan found a new home and a new family in the United States. Then he was told he had to return to Colombia.
But it wasn’t as easy as showing up and starting to work. He had to rebuild a life there.
Listen to Part 4 of the story that inspired Status.

Well this was a WILD thing to wake up to.
Status is featured on @ApplePodcasts in a section celebrating the DACA decision!
Give it a relisten!

From executive producer @selenagomez comes #LivingUndocumented, a six episode documentary series that follows eight undocumented immigrant families who volunteered to tell their stories, revealing the high cost many must pay to try and live the American dream. Premieres October 2
Been watching this story evolve on Twitter for a week or so.
If you were a Status listener, you know all about OPT. Wait times for this very common, very helpful program are now affecting students' lives.

We didn’t known how relevant @StatusPodcast would increasingly be when we launched it. We’re sad to see it go, but incredibly proud of everything @MattAHorton did on the show, and this last episode. Thank you for all the hard work #FamiliesBelongTogether itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/…
Over 2 seasons, Status told you the stories of how policy really affects the lives of immigrants.
In the final episode, Matt goes to a protest and a vigil, and Status storytellers return to share their hopes for all immigrants.

Trump administration plan would bar people who enter illegally from getting asylum - Vox
This is racism. It's veiled by policy that isn't necessarily racist. But it's racism. It's specifically geared to block Central Americans from winning asylum. apple.news/AhU9H5ZsvSgmAvGYr…
Eddie entered the US through customs at 14, and he doesn’t remember much. He was more interested in seeing his mom who was being treated for cancer.
Then he met Tyler, and it was on him to prove exactly what he didn’t say on a random day in 2002.

The night I met Jonatan, I went home and made this Tumblr post.
To hear why, visit buff.ly/2Jb4eDv and listen to Part 5 of Jonatan's story.
Jonatan was the impetus for Status. This is the final part of his story. Hear how he and I met, fell for each other, and worked to maintain that love.
And we learn once again that even in the most straightforward of cases, immigration gets messy.
