In collaboration with our colleagues at This American Life, we aired a special report last week about Puerto Rican citizens receiving addiction treatment in Chicago. The story was brought to light by reporter, Adriana Cardona Maguigad, editor of The Gate newspaper newspaper in Chicago’s Back of the Yards neighborhood. Illinois State Senator William Delgado’s district includes areas where some of these facilities are located. He joins us to talk about what’s going on and what he thinks should be done.
