Doing everything right, and detained anyway

Wednesday, July 29, 2026 • Duration 47:44

A pending asylum application was never a legal status. But for decades, filing one within your first year — as the law requires — meant immigration agents largely left you alone while you waited. That's changed.

Attorney Kevin Piecuch runs a free legal clinic in Southwest Detroit. He tells Robyn Vincent that people with pending cases are now being picked up at their homes and their jobs. Robyn also speaks with a young woman detained while her case was still pending — we're not using her real name — and with Pastor Kevin Casillas of the First Latin American Baptist Church.

We asked ICE's Detroit field office to respond. It has not yet done so.

Healing the mental wounds of domestic violence

Thursday, May 14, 2026 • Duration 29:24

When someone leaves an abusive home, we tend to think of it as the end of the story. Advocates say it's often when the violence escalates — and when survivors are left to rebuild a sense of self after years of being told they had none.

For Mental Health Awareness Month, JoJo Dries joins The Metro to talk about the long work of healing after domestic violence. Dries runs On the Wings of Angels, a metro Detroit nonprofit meeting survivors with shelter, security, therapy and a community willing to stay. She spoke with Ahlem Mahdhi, a fellow at WDET through the U.S. State Department's Professional Fellows Program.

Editor's note: This episode includes descriptions of abuse. If you need help, the National Domestic Violence Hotline is 800-799-7233, or text START to 88788.
