A Brief (and recent) History of Border Patrol and ICE Abuse

Sep 24 2026

The Ohio Immigrant Alliance completed an analysis of ICE and Border Patrol agents who committed sexual or violent offenses against women and children. Their report presents the data, which includes an alarming pattern- 86% of the agents they examined were charged with or convicted of sex offenses, more than half targeted children and most remained employed with DHS for decades. The report also examines how failures in vetting, training, accountability, and institutional culture enabled this crisis and proposes solutions and reforms.

When Futbol Got Political Part 2

Sep 3 2026

"Keep politics out of sports" is something heard a little too often, but these two have never really been separate. To further show that, Cristina tells Carmen about another very political football match, Argentina vs England, 1986. What made it political? The short but devastating war between the two countries just four years before this historic match. Las Malvinas were brought up once again as the two national teams faced each other in the 2026 World Cup.If you have topic suggestions, feel free to email Historiasunknownpodcast@gmail.com or use the contact us form on the website https://www.historiasunknown.com/contact/Want ad free episodes?

When Futbol Got Political

Jul 9 2026

"Keep politics out of sports", is something heard very often, especially right now as the world cup is taking place. These two, especially futbol and politics, have never really been seperate and to show that, Cristina tells Carmen about two of the most political football matches in history. Argentina vs Peru during the 1978 World Cup, hosted in Argentina during the dictatorship, in which at least 30,000 were disappeared. As well as Chile vs the Soviet Union in 1974, the second leg was set to take place in el Estadio Nacional, which had been converted to a concentration camp during the dictatorship. The Soviet Union asked for a venue change, as it was already known that prisoners were being held captive there.

What They Stole with Paige Towers

Jun 11 2026

What They Stole by Paige Towers blends together a true crime case from her hometown, a familicide, geopolitics, history, and so much more. The synopsis: In 1955, following the devastation of the Korean War, Bertha and Harry Holt made headlines for adopting eight Korean children. Driven by evangelical convictions and emboldened by a special act of Congress, the couple founded the Holt Adoption Program, which would facilitate the migration of tens of thousands of Korean children to the United States over the following decades.

The Sueppels were among the families profoundly shaped by the legacy of the Holt Adoption Program. To their suburban Iowa City community, Steven and Sheryl Sueppel were kind and charitable, humble yet magnetic—seemingly ideal candidates to adopt. But in 2008, when Steven found himself facing federal embezzlement and money laundering charges, he murdered Sheryl and their adopted children before ending his own life.

Paige Towers traces the interwoven histories of the Holts and the Sueppels, exploring the deeper, often hidden complexities of intercountry adoption: the ethical gray zones, the influences of religion and race, and the global inequalities that made such large—scale child migration possible. Meticulously researched and sensitive with its storytelling.

Carmen and Cristina were joined by Paige to talk about her new book.

He Was Imprisoned in the National Stadium for Eleven Days with Dr. Joseph Doherty

May 28 2026

Joseph Doherty fulfilled a childhood dream when, after graduating high school and joining Maryknoll, a Catholic missionary society, he was assigned to work in Chile. He was present for the coup, in 1973, when the military overthrew the government of President Salvador Allende. Arrested by DINA, the secret police, he was imprisoned in the National Stadium for eleven days before being expelled from the country. CHILE: EMBERS OF THE PAST is the story of what took place before and during his expulsion as well as his time in El Salvador, where he was reassigned. His book also recounts, how in 2001 he accompanied Joyce Horman, widow of Charles Horman, whom the Chilean military executed, and returned to Chile to testify against various military officials. Leaving Maryknoll in 1975 he obtained his doctorate in psychology. He returns to visit his friends in Chile as often as he can.

Carmen and Cristina were joined by Dr. Joseph Doherty. He discussed his book, as well as what it was like to live through the coup and the National Stadium.
