    Must watch. Guarantee that the 14 down votes are from people that never even attempted to watch an episode of this groundbreaking series. America should be ashamed of the actions taken against these refugees.

    Incredibly well done. Another poignant and culturally relevant series on an issue that everyone must see to understand.

    This documentary showed all of the horrible things that are happening in America in relation to ICE and the administration of Donald Trump. It also points out the trend that this has been happening forever.

    The series' major strength is in its exploration of the rolling impact of these policies.

    As taxing to watch as it is, one can appreciate the quality and purposeful vision of the craftsmanship. While there are static interviews, a large portion of the footage was capture as tense situations unfolded. That perpetual immediacy, both with victims and executioners, compels us to grasp the gravity of this moral problem as a whole.

    The filmmakers capture ICE as it is ramping up its operations in response to Trump’s election, incisively exploring how Trump’s rhetoric has translated into nuts-and-bolts policy. ... Immigration Nation also tells human stories, where the filmmakers sit down with migrants to hear their particular saga of suffering. Each is like a vortex, lengthening into a dimension of unfathomable personal grief.
