Entertainment Weekly

Guerrero, whose 2016 memoir describes how her parents were deported back to Colombia when she was 14, says of helping put tonight's "The ICEMen Cometh" episode together: "It was very difficult, especially for me. I mean, how do you find the humor in this? They take someone who’s been here their entire lives and send them to somewhere they don’t know. It’s a 22-minute show, so it’s very difficult to have the kind of nuance you need to talk about a topic as sensitive as immigration and deportation. But you try! We certainly did. Where there’s sorrow and conflict, you can find laughter and humor. That’s what we tried to do while tackling a difficult subject. That’s what we do on every show."
