THE WALL

A Savannah State student-athlete came to America to study, play baseball, and finish his degree. Then ICE detained him over what appears to be a student paperwork issue. Johan Sandoval’s case exposes the lie that this administration is only going after “criminals” and connects to a larger pattern—from Ellabell workers to targeted athletes—where the state praises people’s labor and talent until it decides their bodies are useful as warnings.
