Have a nICE day

Gina García, a Dominican-American medical resident, arrives at her parents’ Bronx apartment for a celebratory dinner, only for the night to erupt in chaos when ICE agents batter down the door. In a single take, the camera captures the family’s whiplash from warmth to terror as agents cuff Gina’s father, a U.S.-born war veteran. Gina leverages her status as a doctor while her brother Mario films the raid until a gun is drawn.
