Samuel, a 19-year-old from Bogotá, was forced to leave his country due to threats against his life. His journey to the United States was filled with dangers, from extortion on buses in Mexico to the constant fear of being kidnapped. Upon crossing the border, he was detained and treated like a criminal, spending weeks in high-security prisons under inhumane conditions. Despite everything, he managed to obtain asylum and reunite with his family. Now, he faces new challenges in the United States, where life for migrants is not easy, but he continues to fight for a better future.
