the way the hurricane was coming through, she didn't have a lot of time to 83 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:48,080 know that she was evacuating, and she had a horse that she had to hook up and get ready 84 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:53,440 to go, so she wasn't able to take those precious memories with her. 85 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:58,920 When she came back, the water had completely flooded her home. 86 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,540 Her home was completely submerged in water, so everything was covered in mud. 87 00:05:03,540 --> 00:05:10,840 When she returned home, she was able to find some material things, like fabric material, 88 00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:12,000 like baby blankets. 89 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,680 She said her grandmother's quilts, things like that, that she thought, maybe I can wash 90 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:23,360 them to get the mud, the dirt, and just all the hurricane out of it. 91 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:28,740 She goes to the town where Tito's living to go to the laundromat, and he's there with 92 00:05:28,740 --> 00:05:33,320 his friends hanging out, chilling. 93 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:39,600 He's leaning against a washing machine, and is making eyes at Faith, and raising his eyebrows. 94 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,600 Yeah, he's trying to figure, he's like, what's up? 95 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:42,600 Yeah, he's like, what's up? 96 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:47,040 She was like, later, I don't have time. 97 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,440 My home was just in a hurricane. 98 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,520 I'm trying to save precious memories. 99 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,680 You're cute and all, but bye. 100 00:05:54,680 --> 00:06:01,120 Anyway, she keeps returning to this laundromat, because she's living in a FEMA trailer while 101 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,640 she's recovering from the hurricane. 102 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,560 She just has to go there to do her laundry weekly. 103 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,400 Tito's there with his friends, hanging out. 104 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,320 Eventually, she's there with her mom one day. 105 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,480 Her mom's like, oh, he's so cute. 106 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,320 Look at him looking at you. 107 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,200 She's like, tell her mom. 108 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,120 I don't have time. 109 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:31,080 Eventually, he came up to her with a magazine, with all these women, and really fancy dresses, 110 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,240 and she laughed, because she was like, I don't own a dress. 111 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,240 I don't wear dresses. 112 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:36,240 I rodeo. 113 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:43,120 He was pointing to the women in these gowns, and pointing to her, and being like, you're 114 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,120 beautiful. 115 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,560 You are like these women in these magazines. 116 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,120 At the time that they met, do they speak the same language? 117 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,120 No. 118 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,200 She doesn't speak any Spanish. 119 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,680 This is extra cute. 120 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:55,680 Extra cute, right? 121 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,680 He's like, hey. 122 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:58,680 Yeah, exactly. 123 00:06:58,680 --> 00:06:59,680 Wow. 124 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:04,200 Yeah, she doesn't speak any Spanish. 125 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:08,480 He doesn't speak hardly any English, but one of his friends does speak English, and is 126 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:09,480 able to translate. 127 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,480 Oh, the wingman coming through. 128 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:12,480 The wingman. 129 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:13,480 He's like, what's up? 130 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:14,480 I got you. 131 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:15,480 Yeah, he's like, I got you. 132 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,760 It just kind of starts from there. 133 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:22,880 They sit in the laundromat, and even though they didn't speak the same language, or a 134 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,640 lot of the same language. 135 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:25,640 But they did. 136 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:26,640 They did. 137 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:27,640 But they did. 138 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:28,640 Exactly. 139 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:34,760 And it's like, I've heard this from couples where they don't speak the same language, 140 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,200 but they're able to understand each other and communicate. 141 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,360 The heart has its own language. 142 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:42,720 So it just progressed from there. 143 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,720 They were talking to each other in the laundromat. 144 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:50,400 They started walking out of the laundromat, going to places to eat nearby. 145 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:56,880 Eventually, he invited her to where he lived to eat, and it just went from there. 146 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:04,160 So they're married, and they are building a really beautiful life together in Louisiana. 147 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,320 They build a new house together. 148 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,860 They get all this new furniture. 149 00:08:08,860 --> 00:08:11,240 They have their son at this time. 150 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:12,240 Brenly. 151 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,640 Brenly, yeah, when they're living in Louisiana. 152 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:21,640 And then when Brenly's still a baby, really young, before he's maybe a year old or right 153 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:26,680 around then, Tito gets pulled over while he's driving. 154 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:32,360 And Tito, at this time, does not have a driver's license because he's not a citizen. 155 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,200 So you can't get a driver's license if you're not a US citizen. 156 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,440 Tito gets pulled over. 157 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,560 And the police say at the time he's pulled over because he forgot to use his blinker 158 00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:44,720 when changing lanes or making a turn or something. 159 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:49,000 But it's like a blinking violation, specifically. 160 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,260 OK. 161 00:08:50,260 --> 00:08:51,260 My reaction, exactly. 162 00:08:51,260 --> 00:08:53,200 I was like, OK. 163 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,960 Which normally is a warning, like, hey, is your blinker working? 164 00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,160 Like you didn't use it. 165 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,600 But then this turns into a big old mess for this family. 166 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:02,880 Yeah, of course it does. 167 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:03,880 Yeah. 168 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,360 So he calls Faith because he's getting pulled over. 169 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:07,360 And she shows up. 170 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,760 And she says, I can't argue with the police, which you can't. 171 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,560 Her husband is kind of at their mercy at this point. 172 00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:18,280 So the police ask, does he have a driver's license? 173 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:19,280 No. 174 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:20,280 Does he have an ID? 175 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:21,560 Does he have a passport? 176 00:09:21,560 --> 00:09:22,560 Yes. 177 00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:24,120 Is an American passport? 178 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,120 No. 179 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:31,200 So he ends up getting arrested and ultimately goes to the detention center from this very 180 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,440 small interaction with the police. 181 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,760 What year is it at the time? 182 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,560 I actually can't recall off the top of my head. 183 00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:40,560 But I believe Obama was in office. 184 00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:46,960 So it's like during the Obama administration, just as a reference for where we are immigration 185 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:47,960 law-wise. 186 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,760 I believe in the interview we say what year it is. 187 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,060 So Tito is in the detention center. 188 00:09:53,060 --> 00:09:59,000 And ultimately, he ends up getting deported back to his home country of Honduras. 189 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:05,440 And during this time, Faith meets with an immigration lawyer and says, what are our 190 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:06,440 options here? 191 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:12,080 How do we get him here with no more issues, no more trouble, no more looking over our 192 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:13,080 shoulders? 193 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,320 How do we get him here legally? 194 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:24,520 They say that his punishment, Tito's punishment, for being in the country longer than he was 195 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:30,120 allowed to be, so like being in the country illegally, was that he was banned from entering 196 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,360 the US for 10 years. 197 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,480 And this is a pretty common ban, actually. 198 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:40,200 It comes down to three-year bans and 10-year bans, typically, for this kind of thing. 199 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,500 And it really is as simple as overstaying your visa in the United States. 200 00:10:44,500 --> 00:10:49,280 So however long your visa is, if you stay one day over, that starts a three-year ban 201 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:50,500 kind of automatically. 202 00:10:50,500 --> 00:10:58,740 And then if you're 180 days or maybe 181 days, that's when the 10-year ban kicks in. 203 00:10:58,740 --> 00:11:03,920 That was going to be Tito's punishment, essentially, is that if he wants to apply for citizenship, 204 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:09,240 apply for his green card, he would have to go to Honduras for 10 years. 205 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,120 And then they could start the process to legally apply for his green card. 206 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,360 But he would have to be out of the United States to do that. 207 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:22,080 So Tito and Faith make the decision, like, okay, you're going to Honduras. 208 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,680 I'm coming too. 209 00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:24,680 Brenley's coming too. 210 00:11:24,680 --> 00:11:26,500 And 10 years is nothing. 211 00:11:26,500 --> 00:11:27,680 We just had our son. 212 00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:30,160 He's around one years old at this point. 213 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,800 We'll get a chance to live in Honduras. 214 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,960 Faith will get to see where Tito comes from. 215 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:40,600 Their son will get to experience the culture of living in Honduras and get to have that 216 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:41,600 experience. 217 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:47,040 You know, Brenley can come back and he will be able to continue in school and eventually 218 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,320 go on to college without missing a beat. 219 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:50,320 So that's their plan. 220 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,600 And that's what they do. 221 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,000 They go to Honduras. 222 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,740 They build a life there. 223 00:11:54,740 --> 00:12:00,440 Like I mentioned earlier, they have this house on family land at the base of a mountain. 224 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:05,120 And Faith works teaching English, which makes really good money there. 225 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:10,680 So Tito is able to stay home and not only care for Brenley, but care for his mother and 226 00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:17,480 care for the family and be able to do projects at the houses and fix the houses and just 227 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,040 make their lives more comfortable overall. 228 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,440 And again, I really recommend going back, if you haven't already, to listen to the 229 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:30,120 interview with Faith as she describes her culture shock of going from living in America 230 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:35,440 to living in Honduras and what that was like for her because it's really an incredible 231 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,040 experience and not when you hear about that often. 232 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:43,800 So again, Faith is really cool and a really great storyteller. 233 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,040 Ten years is going by. 234 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,600 COVID hits. 235 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,640 And COVID was terrible everywhere. 236 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:54,560 But again, like it mentioned in the interview, it was really bad in Honduras. 237 00:12:54,560 --> 00:12:56,200 It was really, really bad. 238 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,480 People were dying outside of hospitals. 239 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:04,960 There was a lockdown that was so severe that you could only leave one day a week depending 240 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,080 on the number at the end of your ID. 241 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,640 And Tito and Faith, their numbers weren't the same. 242 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,200 So they couldn't go out together at all. 243 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:14,960 It was one at a time. 244 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:20,840 But ultimately, as borders start opening up again, Faith and Brenley decide to come back. 245 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,240 They've been in Honduras for over 10 years. 246 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,400 They lived there for about 13 years ultimately. 247 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,360 So they say, okay, it's time. 248 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,040 We have done the 10 years. 249 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,400 COVID is lifting. 250 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:35,640 The borders are opening up. 251 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:40,480 Let's get back to the USA and start the process to get you here. 252 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:41,480 So that's what they do. 253 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:48,440 Faith and Brenley come back and they meet with a lawyer who ultimately has bad news that 254 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:55,440 because Trump was in office, Tito was now permanently banned from entering the US because 255 00:13:55,440 --> 00:14:00,000 he had been deported too many times before. 256 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,600 So now he was permanently banned from my understanding. 257 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,040 And immigration law is so complicated. 258 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:12,360 Even when you try to do things by the books, quote unquote, like Faith and Tito did here, 259 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:17,680 they tried to do the process the legal way, which is always an argument I hear. 260 00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:19,520 But it's like, it doesn't work. 261 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,800 The system is completely broken. 262 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:26,680 But I think that's the design is that it's just like, it's completely bungled all around 263 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:27,680 for everyone. 264 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:28,680 Yeah. 265 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,960 It's impossible. 266 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,800 So they learn this news and it's devastating. 267 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:39,600 Faith wants to go back to Honduras so they can all be a family again. 268 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:46,720 Her goal is to be a family and to her, the safest way is to go back to Honduras. 269 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,800 And Tito's goal is also to be a family in this. 270 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:57,760 But he gets dead set on coming to the US because he really wants his son to have good education 271 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,200 and a chance at making more than... 272 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:02,200 Five dollars a day. 273 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,120 Five dollars for 12 hours of work. 274 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:06,120 Yeah. 275 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:11,920 Have a chance at a better life, which both are right. 276 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,120 Nobody's wrong in this, but they both are kind of dead set. 277 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,480 And in the interview, Faith said to me, if I had gone to Honduras, he would have said, 278 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,040 okay, well, I'll meet you back in the US then because that's where I'm headed. 279 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,320 There was no stopping him. 280 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,000 He was very dead set on it. 281 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,800 And this was really the first time they disagreed so severely in their marriage. 282 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,480 That leads us into the summer of this year, June of 2022. 283 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,640 Do you want to say something about that quickly? 284 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:45,200 And this was because I had the chance to listen to the interview and I was thinking to myself, 285 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,520 putting myself in Tito's shoes. 286 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,940 And this is only from my own experience and how I navigate the world. 287 00:15:51,940 --> 00:16:01,360 But when you are told no over and over and over again, and your pick and choose button 288 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:07,320 gets turned up to high, and that's how you exist. 289 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:12,720 It's like when you turn a button up on any sort of machine and it's stuck and it's turned 290 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:17,240 up really high and you know it's not supposed to be on this setting for this long. 291 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,880 So when you live on that setting and you're doing everything right, when you're a good 292 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,480 person and you're doing everything that you're supposed to be doing and you're following 293 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:31,240 the rules and people are still telling you no, and you're turned all the way up to that 294 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,360 point, something in you breaks. 295 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:40,400 I don't mean in a negative way, but I feel pushed up against that no all the time as 296 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:48,600 a trans person and have reached a point in my life at now 34 where I refuse to be told 297 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,600 no that immediately resonated with me. 298 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:57,960 So all of that brings us to the summer, June of 2022. 299 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:03,600 He left Honduras and began traveling to the border of Mexico and the United States. 300 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,560 And he called Faith and was just like, I'm in Guatemala. 301 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,920 And she was like, what are you doing in Guatemala? 302 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,480 And he was like, I said I was coming. 303 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:14,920 So he begins the trip of traveling through all these countries to get to the border, 304 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,160 which takes him to the end of June to get there. 305 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,040 So it takes him about a month to do all the traveling. 306 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:26,800 And Tito calls Faith and says that he's at the border and she needs to wire him money 307 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:33,960 so that way he can pay a coyote and get some things that he needs and cross the border. 308 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:39,600 And Faith said it so beautifully of like, she was in it now. 309 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:40,640 She was part of this. 310 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,760 She had no option. 311 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:43,760 What was she going to do? 312 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:44,760 Leave him there? 313 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:50,080 Faith does everything that she's asked and Tito is waiting for his turn to cross. 314 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,200 And so he doesn't know exactly when he's going. 315 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,320 Faith doesn't know exactly when he's going. 316 00:17:55,320 --> 00:18:02,640 But eventually he'll go and he makes it across the river and into America. 317 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:07,360 But on this attempt, he is ultimately chased by border patrol. 318 00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:09,600 So the group scatters. 319 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:15,640 And Tito, in this process, he loses his backpack that had all of his food, all of his water, 320 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,040 like his necessities. 321 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,600 And he's out in the desert. 322 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,720 And this is end of July. 323 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,840 This is such a hot place to be. 324 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:25,840 Yeah. 325 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:30,280 It's like very quickly a dangerous situation, the fact that he doesn't have water and the 326 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:34,160 fact that he doesn't know where he is really in the desert. 327 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:40,760 So Faith is able to get his coordinates from his phone and she actually calls border patrol 328 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,640 and says, my husband is at these coordinates. 329 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:45,640 He needs help. 330 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,280 So they go out there and get them. 331 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:54,160 They have the vehicles to go into the desert and they have all the stuff. 332 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:55,160 Well, yeah. 333 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,480 On foot, it's treacherous. 334 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,480 But in a car, it's maybe a couple of miles down the desert. 335 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,960 So border patrol does find him and pick him up. 336 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,920 And a few hours later, he calls Faith and he's in Mexico. 337 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:12,080 He's been deported back to Mexico within a few hours. 338 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,600 And this is from Title 42, which is another Trump enacted law. 339 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:22,780 So basically because of COVID, anybody coming to the border could immediately be deported 340 00:19:22,780 --> 00:19:25,840 without being arrested and processed and all of that. 341 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,160 Could just be immediately deported to Mexico. 342 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:34,840 And Mexico had agreed to accept not only people from Mexico, but also Nicaragua, Honduras, 343 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,340 El Salvador, and more recently Venezuela. 344 00:19:37,340 --> 00:19:43,360 And it's come into the news a lot more recently, this Title 42, because people are getting 345 00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:47,400 deported to a country they're not from, which is what happened to Tito in this instance. 346 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,800 What the fuck, man? 347 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,960 Like I just... 348 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,080 It's so fucked up. 349 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,160 It's so broken. 350 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,280 It's so fucked up and broken. 351 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,680 And I asked Faith and Tito didn't know anybody in Mexico. 352 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:01,680 This shit is right. 353 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:02,680 These are human. 354 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:03,680 Human beings. 355 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,120 We do this to human beings. 356 00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:11,040 Even if you're someone who has that job, how do you... 357 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:16,800 But Faith is ultimately relieved when Tito calls because she's like, it's done. 358 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:17,840 He's going to go home. 359 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,640 I'm going to go back to Honduras. 360 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:20,640 I'm going to go back home. 361 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,280 We're going to be a family again. 362 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:23,280 It's done. 363 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,160 But Tito is dead set. 364 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:26,560 He said, I've made it this far. 365 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,240 I've done this much. 366 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:29,840 I'm coming. 367 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,600 So get ready because I'm coming. 368 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:32,600 I'm going to go again. 369 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:33,600 I'm doing this again. 370 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,440 So he tries to cross again. 371 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:42,600 And this is where we ultimately lose contact with Tito is on the second crossing. 372 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:47,440 And this happens end of July, beginning of August, 2022. 373 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,720 It is not recommended that you cross during this time. 374 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,840 I've been doing a lot of research on crossing the border. 375 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:58,800 And July is a slower month actually because it is so hot. 376 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,400 And again, Tito has been on this journey since June. 377 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,640 So he's not eating regularly. 378 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,440 I'm sure he's very dehydrated, not sleeping well. 379 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,160 He's really exhausted physically, I imagine at this point. 380 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,240 So August, he begins to cross again. 381 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:22,560 And it's not clear, but it seems like it's through the same route as he did last time 382 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:27,880 with the ultimate plan of ending up in San Antonio, Texas, where Faith was going to pick 383 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,640 him up from there. 384 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,120 That was the ultimate goal was to get to San Antonio. 385 00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:38,040 So at one point, Tito calls Faith and says that he's so tired and that he can't do 386 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:39,040 it anymore. 387 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,040 Like he can't walk. 388 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,040 He can't move. 389 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,840 Like he's reaching the end of his ropes. 390 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,960 He says they're about four hours away from where someone can pick them up. 391 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,260 So that's where like a car can get to them. 392 00:21:49,260 --> 00:21:51,320 They're four hours away from that point. 393 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:57,360 But if she's willing to pay $10,000, they'll send a car to him and he can rest there. 394 00:21:57,360 --> 00:21:59,760 They'll send the car the next day. 395 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:00,760 And Faith... 396 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,800 She says, okay, I'll borrow it from my mom. 397 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:03,800 Yeah. 398 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:04,800 Do it. 399 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:05,800 Tell them to bring the car. 400 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:06,800 So the next day, he calls. 401 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,560 I believe this is August 19th. 402 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:14,240 He calls and she's expecting him to say, I'm in San Antonio. 403 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,760 But nobody sent the car. 404 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,220 Nobody came for him. 405 00:22:18,220 --> 00:22:24,180 So he's there alone and he has been waiting, no pickup. 406 00:22:24,180 --> 00:22:26,040 The battery on his phone is dying. 407 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:30,700 So he says what he's going to try to do is use Google Maps to try to get somewhere to 408 00:22:30,700 --> 00:22:32,680 where Faith can pick him up. 409 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:37,200 And she needs to get in the car and start driving because she's far. 410 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:38,200 She's in Tennessee. 411 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,600 So she's like a good long while away. 412 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,380 So she's got hours on the road to go. 413 00:22:42,380 --> 00:22:47,600 So she gets in the car and heads out and he begins walking. 414 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:53,640 So about eight hours after Faith has been on the road, approximately in there, she gets 415 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,940 a video call from Tito. 416 00:22:55,940 --> 00:23:01,880 And she says he's almost unrecognizable from dehydration and sunburn and the bags under 417 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:02,880 his eyes. 418 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,340 He is very sick and exhausted. 419 00:23:05,340 --> 00:23:11,920 And he says that he's resting under a bridge and that's where Faith needs to come get him. 420 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:16,240 And she's like, does he know how many roads there are in Texas? 421 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:21,880 And I get anything, any kind of road name, a mile marker, anything to know where you're 422 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:22,880 at. 423 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:27,880 And he hangs up and says he's going to try to walk to find something and he'll call 424 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,680 back because again, his battery's low. 425 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,720 So he doesn't have a lot of... 426 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,820 He can't stay on the phone with her. 427 00:23:33,820 --> 00:23:39,520 He has tried to send his location via Google Maps and WhatsApp. 428 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,480 He's tried doing that and it would not come through. 429 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,200 Every time Faith received it, it was just like a pin in a blanket. 430 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:47,200 A blank spot. 431 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,640 So she really doesn't have anything to go off of. 432 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:55,280 But he calls back and he has tried to walk and he says he can't do it. 433 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:56,360 He can't move. 434 00:23:56,360 --> 00:23:57,360 He can't walk. 435 00:23:57,360 --> 00:23:59,760 And he says he's so sorry. 436 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:04,800 He can see the road, but he can't see where the cars would come in and out of. 437 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,180 He just sees a clip of a road. 438 00:24:07,180 --> 00:24:08,980 That's how I took that. 439 00:24:08,980 --> 00:24:14,460 He tells her he can't see anything, but then he says he can see a gate that has gargoyles 440 00:24:14,460 --> 00:24:15,460 on it. 441 00:24:15,460 --> 00:24:18,000 And he says this in Spanish to her, gargoyles. 442 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,140 And that's how Faith knew that he was very sure of it. 443 00:24:21,140 --> 00:24:25,480 This wasn't a hallucination because if he had said it in English, she would have assumed 444 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,120 he was hallucinating from dehydration. 445 00:24:28,120 --> 00:24:33,400 But because he said it in Spanish, she knew that's really what he's seeing is a gargoyle. 446 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:38,140 So Tito ultimately says his battery is low and he says, I love you. 447 00:24:38,140 --> 00:24:43,320 And then a couple seconds later, he says, I'm scared and the phone shuts off. 448 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:51,840 And according to his NamUs case, this was at 8, 11 PM, this last communication with 449 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,720 him on August 19th. 450 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,280 So Faith is still on the road. 451 00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,000 And when the phone cuts off, she assumes that he has turned it off because his battery is 452 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,120 low, but the phone never turns back on again and hasn't that we know of. 453 00:25:04,120 --> 00:25:06,200 But Faith keeps the phone bill paid. 454 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,680 So that way, if anybody finds it, if they can get it on, she'll know. 455 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:15,120 So she gets into the area, Tito's last known whereabouts were Webb County, Texas. 456 00:25:15,120 --> 00:25:20,680 So she's driving off the road, going under every bridge, driving every road she can, 457 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:26,960 trying to find this gate with a gargoyle on it and ultimately can't find it. 458 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,160 And she's panicked. 459 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,960 She's been on the road for a very long time and she has her son with her and she doesn't 460 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,920 know what to do. 461 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,360 So she turns around and she goes home. 462 00:25:37,360 --> 00:25:44,160 And it's not like, I think what immediately people think is like, why didn't you ask anyone 463 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:45,160 else for help? 464 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,120 But she cannot. 465 00:25:48,120 --> 00:25:51,160 Because he will be deported again. 466 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:52,160 Or worse. 467 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,680 I just like, I think that that's worth saying. 468 00:25:54,680 --> 00:26:01,080 Is that like, literally, this woman has done everything that she can do. 469 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:02,640 There's no resources for her. 470 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:03,640 There's none. 471 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:04,640 Yeah. 472 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,280 She turns around and goes home and listening to Faith in this interview, like every time 473 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:09,440 I listen to it, I cry. 474 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:14,080 Like her talking about this part of how this was like the hardest thing she's had to do. 475 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,720 Wondering if Tito could see their car and like know that she was right there and like 476 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,120 could see her driving away. 477 00:26:19,120 --> 00:26:21,960 I'm going to start crying if I think about it too much. 478 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:22,960 Yeah. 479 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,040 It's something that, that's a thought that should never have to pass through anyone's 480 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,040 mind. 481 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,040 Never. 482 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,040 And the fact that it does. 483 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:34,360 That she has to feel that every moment of every day is violently unfair. 484 00:26:34,360 --> 00:26:35,360 Yeah. 485 00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:41,760 And the days after August 19th, there's no contact from Tito and Faith is in hysterics 486 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:42,880 over like what to do. 487 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,680 Like very scared about everything. 488 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:52,120 And you know, she had received calls from Tito with other, from other numbers besides 489 00:26:52,120 --> 00:26:53,120 his. 490 00:26:53,120 --> 00:26:56,480 So you know, she called those, called every number she could think of. 491 00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,360 The coyotes, this, that, the other, you know, the where she wired them. 492 00:27:00,360 --> 00:27:01,360 Yeah. 493 00:27:01,360 --> 00:27:02,360 Exactly. 494 00:27:02,360 --> 00:27:07,000 So a few days later, she heads back to Webb County to officially file a missing persons 495 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:13,440 report and when she mentioned the gate, they say, Oh, well it's not gargoyles, but it's 496 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:14,440 a bat. 497 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:15,880 We know a gate like that. 498 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:22,040 This is actually a state park and it's called, I'm going to butcher this, but it's Chacon 499 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,440 Park or bat park in Webb County. 500 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:31,720 But the gate to it, and we'll include pictures of this on our Instagram, but from far away, 501 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:36,760 it would look like a gargoyle because it's a big bat over the entrance of this gate and 502 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,080 with its wings spread. 503 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:42,520 So like, yeah, if you didn't know what you were looking at was specifically a bat, like 504 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:43,520 you would think. 505 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:44,520 So he was like gargoyles? 506 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:45,520 Yeah. 507 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,480 Well, and also like gates, like I would think a gargoyle is going to be on a gate before 508 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:57,400 a bat, but they drive out to the bridge that's out there or bridges out there and search, 509 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:04,120 but there's no sign of Tito and there hasn't been any sign of Tito since that phone call 510 00:28:04,120 --> 00:28:06,720 on August 19th. 511 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:11,600 There is a possibility that he was seen in Wisconsin. 512 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:16,000 Somebody was 90% sure that they saw him, which again, if you think you see somebody who is 513 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,880 missing like in this day and age when we all have a cell phone in our pocket, try to get 514 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:26,680 a picture, try to get a video, like be sneaky if you must, but it's so helpful to the family 515 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:31,560 to be able to see a picture and kind of ultimately rule out like, yes, this is a good lead or 516 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,120 no, that's not them. 517 00:28:33,120 --> 00:28:39,720 The woman who saw him in Wisconsin was about 90% sure that it was him and he was wearing 518 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,760 a construction shirt. 519 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:50,000 So Faith right now thinks that Tito could possibly be the victim of human trafficking 520 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:57,440 in forced labor via construction, which when I did my research on this, LexisNexis, which 521 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:04,120 is like a business research firm, they figured that out of all the jobs in construction, 522 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:08,840 all the workers, around 7% of them are actually victims of human trafficking. 523 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:14,200 So construction is actually like a very big industry for human trafficking. 524 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:15,780 Holy shit. 525 00:29:15,780 --> 00:29:22,840 So that is a possible clue for Tito that he could be possibly the victim of human trafficking 526 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,820 and work in construction right now. 527 00:29:26,820 --> 00:29:33,560 If you think you see Tito, again, please try to get a picture of him, but call 911 is what 528 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,960 Faith is requesting people do. 529 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:45,920 And his case is out of Webb County and his case number is 2022001524. 530 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:53,720 And you can call the Webb County Sheriff at 956-523-4500. 531 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,700 And again, just report him. 532 00:29:55,700 --> 00:30:00,400 This is a missing person and any information you can, what he's wearing, where you're at, 533 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,220 what he's doing, all of that is really helpful. 534 00:30:03,220 --> 00:30:08,660 And again, you can reach out to Faith on her social media that she has to raise awareness 535 00:30:08,660 --> 00:30:09,660 for Tito. 536 00:30:09,660 --> 00:30:11,060 We're going to include those in our show link. 537 00:30:11,060 --> 00:30:15,720 So you can also reach out to her and send tips there as well. 538 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:21,520 But that is the case of Tito and he is still missing. 539 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:27,080 Again, just if you haven't had the opportunity to listen to my interview with Faith, I really, 540 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:32,160 really encourage you to go back and listen to it because Faith was very vulnerable with 541 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:33,760 me and very honest with me. 542 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,460 And I think that kind of courage should be rewarded. 543 00:30:37,460 --> 00:30:40,120 And I think the best reward would be Tito coming home. 544 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:45,400 So I reached out to Faith to ask if there was anything that she wanted included this 545 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,240 week that maybe she didn't get to mention last week. 546 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:53,520 And she just said that they still have not heard from him and his birthday is coming 547 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,080 up this week. 548 00:30:56,080 --> 00:31:01,760 And Christmas is really hard and that her and her son have agreed on a compromise because 549 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,700 she couldn't face doing a big tree and all that. 550 00:31:05,700 --> 00:31:13,200 So they have a small ceramic tree that was her grandmother's up as the Christmas decorations. 551 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,000 But we want Tito home for sure. 552 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:24,340 So again, please contact the Webb County Sheriff at 956-523-4500 or contact Faith directly 553 00:31:24,340 --> 00:31:28,560 with your tip via social media, which are in our show notes. 554 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:29,560 And that's it. 555 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:30,560 That's all I have. 556 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:37,720 Since this was kind of a unique opportunity, I jotted down a unique opportunity, meaning 557 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:44,640 that I get to talk a little bit more about this case instead of just having my reactions. 558 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:50,560 So my first response to listening to Faith speak and hearing about Tito was that I put 559 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,400 myself in their position. 560 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,560 And I think that that's a really natural response. 561 00:31:56,560 --> 00:32:05,200 And I immediately started editing and filling in what I would have done and almost just 562 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:11,280 a few seconds after had the realization of you don't know what you would do. 563 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:12,360 You don't know. 564 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:20,040 And I think that we're trained to be critical, but Faith is experiencing a level of fear 565 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:25,080 that most people will never experience in their lifetime. 566 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:29,000 You know, she doesn't know where Tito is. 567 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:34,920 I kept trying to imagine something that I can't because I've never experienced it. 568 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,360 And hopefully never will. 569 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:42,560 So this is a situation that cannot be criticized. 570 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:47,200 And there's a level of bravery that I wanted to commend Faith for because it's really vulnerable 571 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:52,560 to step out and tell your story, not only because of what you're going through, but 572 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:59,440 because it slides that hyper critical lens over your life for people to look through. 573 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:04,280 So it's really brave for her to step out and trust in that community support. 574 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,120 You know, yeah, badass. 575 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,280 I echo that 100%. 576 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:17,560 I also wanted to say that they seem to love each other in a way that it's written about. 577 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:18,560 Totally. 578 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:19,720 You know? 579 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,920 And I feel that way with you. 580 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:28,200 So I just like Tito and I are very lucky guys to be loved by people like you and Faith. 581 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:29,920 And that's it for me. 582 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:30,920 Thanks for letting me share. 583 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:35,440 I care a lot about this family and I think a lot of other people will too now. 584 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,120 And I'd really love to see him come home. 585 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:39,120 Me too. 586 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:40,120 Yeah, absolutely. 587 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:41,120 Thank you for sharing. 588 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:42,400 That was all really beautiful. 589 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:48,760 But yeah, next week we're going to have a little bit of another kind of different episode. 590 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,200 We're going to be doing a big update episode. 591 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,160 So we promise we're not straying from the regular form. 592 00:33:54,160 --> 00:34:01,000 Yeah, it's just it's the end of the year and a couple of things have, as listeners know, 593 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,920 have changed in cases that we've covered. 594 00:34:03,920 -->

00:34:38,800 somebody has been arrested in her murder. 604 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,800 We announced it on our Instagram or we announced it. 605 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,180 We posted about it on
