MI Religious and Political Right Collide

Earlier this month, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad fled the country after a surprise offensive launched by opposition groups, ending the 50-year rule of the Assad family.  For many Syrians living outside of the country, it's opened up the possibility of returning home, or visiting loved ones who stayed. 

We met one Syrian immigrant who built a life with his family here in Michigan after fleeing Syria over a decade ago. He reflected on his time in Syria, and his hopes for the nation's future. 

GUESTS:
Adam Yahya Rayes, data reporter, Michigan Public
Basel Alyasin, vice president, American Syrian Arab Cultural Association

Syrian immigrant reflects on regime change

 Joe Cedillo was released Tuesday, December 10, 2024 from the Muskegon Correctional Facility after spending 38 years behind bars for a crime he committed when he was 18 years old. 

Cedillo’s case marks a significant milestone as the first in Kent County to regain his freedom following a state supreme court ruling that declared unconstitutional automatic life sentences without parole for people 18 years old and younger.

We had the chance to meet him on the day of his release.
