In this episode of Government Policy Unpacked, we reveal how gun trafficking, climate change, and government policies intersect to fuel migration challenges in America. These critical issues aren’t just about what’s happening “out there”—they impact you, your community, and our collective future.

What’s in it for you?

  • See the Connection: Learn how the flow of American-made firearms to Mexico and Central America is driving violence and mass migration, which is contributing to America's border crisis.
  • Understand Climate Impacts: Discover how climate change, through extreme weather and food insecurity, is destabilizing Central America and pushing families to the U.S. border.
  • Know the Policies: From Trump's deregulation of gun exports to Biden’s demand for ATF transparency, find out how government actions shape these crises and what’s being done to address them.

This episode will empower you with knowledge, help you see the big picture, and inspire you to demand more from our government leaders. Together, we can turn awareness into action.

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
