About this listen

In this episode of The LEO Podcast,

We start with the U.S. government’s decision to indefinitely pause the Diversity Visa Lottery, unpacking why the program is being targeted and what the freeze means for thousands of people who rely on one of the few remaining legal pathways to permanent residency.

Next, we head to the Florida Everglades to talk about Alligator Alcatraz, the immigration detention center many believe is closed, but isn’t. Kevin shares the story of the small group of protesters who stayed behind after the media left, becoming an unexpected support system for families searching for answers.

Finally, we zoom out to the Caribbean, where the U.S. Coast Guard is pursuing and seizing oil tankers linked to Venezuela, escalating sanctions enforcement into a tense geopolitical standoff with major implications for Latin America, global energy, and regional stability.
