Immigration Video Game!!
In October, “ICED! I CAN END DEPORTATION,” Breakthrough’s much-talked about game on immigration will be released. According to the the Breakthrough website (here), this 3D downloadable game, teaches players about the unjust nature of U.S immigration policy. Game players have to live the day-to-day life of an immigrant teen. The teens are constantly being chased by immigration officers, while making moral/consequential decisions and answering myth & fact quizzes about current immigration policies. If the player chooses or answers incorrectly, he/she increases his or her chances of being thrown into detention. Once in detention, the player endures both physical separation from his/her family and unjust conditions while awaiting, often for unknown amounts of time, the random outcome of his/her case.
