Discussion and reception with film interviewees, Irma Solis, JD, Chapter Director of the Suffolk County Chapter of the NYCLU, Sergio Argueta of STRONG Youth, and STRONG Youth members committed to ending youth and gang violence

Frontline investigates how a slew of gruesome killings on Long Island allegedly by the MS-13 gang led to a sweeping dragnet of immigrant kids- many of whom have been accused of having gang affiliation with little evidence and held in detention without charge for months.

Long Island is home to one of the U.S.'s largest communities of unaccompanied migrant children fleeing violence from Central America. As President Trump declares war on MS-13 and points to the killings on Long Island to justify efforts to ramp up deportations, the film investigates the fraught relationship between immigrant communities and law enforcement, and whether the crackdown is making Long Island safer.
