But when an op to find a key player in the terrorist network goes wrong, and a successful attack is launched on Westminster Hall, the Syndicate begins to suspect that Mariam's family is somehow involved. To make matters more devastating, Juliet's serious boyfriend, Jean-Marc, is targeted and killed, leaving her grieving and even more determined to stop the war.On Syndicate orders, Juliet is paired with a dashing, arrogant FBI agent, Graham, to infiltrate Mariam's family to prevent further attacks.

With Graham, Juliet embarks on a dangerous journey toward survival and love, as they cross the globe from London to Riyadh, Paris to Istanbul, and Moscow to Chechnya's City of the Dead to put an end to the war that cost them both.

The Michael Calderin show with co-host Vanessa Reyes!
A Connecticut resident and DACA recipient was detained in New Mexico by ICE while traveling with his girlfriend. Bryhan Ali Andrade-Rojas was traveling across the west coast when he was detained by ICE officials at an immigration checkpoint on January 17. “I know that he’s sleeping on a floor,” said his friend, Samantha Andersen, who has been talking to him since he’s been detained. “People are defecating next to him.”
Bryhan is a recipient of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, known as DACA. It allows people brought illegally to the United States as children to receive temporary relief from deportation. It also allows them to work and go to school. Bryhan’s status lapsed in February of 2019.
Bryhan’s friends who have been working to get back his freedom tell FOX61 they have received no word on when he will have the opportunity for a bond hearing. He can't access his files on his laptop, which preclude him from sending in his application. The application for DACA renewal is $495 and usually takes only a month or two to hear back on approval.
“If DACA is eliminated, that’s going to be bad news for DACA holders because they will be left without work permits. It will affect their employ-ability, ability to go to college, possible deportations; it might become pretty chaotic,” said Meyerovich. Bryhan’s friends are working on accessing lawyers and raising money for his potential bond, which they say could cost up to $50,000.

The Michael Calderin Show: Interview with Author Al Romero!
Romero shares, "'REVOLUTION' is a thrilling novel of intrigue, deception, betrayal, courage and the remarkable resilience of the human spirit under unbelievable circumstances.

'Revolution' was inspired by the family of the author Al Romero. Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Al Romero's book is a gripping and fast-paced debut novel based on the actual experiences of family and friends during the Cuban Revolution and its aftermath.

The Michael Calderin Show: An American Family fighting to help Afghan Translator
The Michael Calderin Show: An American family fighting to help Muhammad Kamran-Afghan Interpreter who helped US Forces.
Muhammad Kamran is an Afghan intepreter who has helped the US Military, government agencies, and the United Nations for 10 years in their fight against terrorism. Now Muhammad is in the fight for his life; he and his family have been denied safe passage and entry into the United States.
The Taliban considers him a criminal and is working hard to find and kill Muhammad, his wife, and his four young daughters. The whole family has been living in hiding for four years. They are living in daily fear of being discovered and killed by the Taliban. Even the children are unable to leave their apartment. Leaks in the roof have made the young girls sick on several occasions from getting infections from bacteria in the water or getting cold in the winter.
Kristy Perano, a courageous graduate student stepped up to the plate and began a crusade along with her family (Ken and Susie Perano, Tim and Julianne Perano) to help Muhammad and his family. The USCIS has provided no reason why Muhammad and his family have not been granted clearance to enter the United States citing security concerns. A bi-partisan group of 38 members of congress signed a letter that was sent to Kirstjen Nielsen, Secretary of Homelend Security on July 31, 2018, and as of this date they have received no response from the Secretary or any governmental agency.
We will hear first hand from Muhammad Kamran and the Perano Family. Please share on social media and contact your senators and members of congress. Please share this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NowDUr1I2T8
