Warning: Spoilers ahead for the series finale of Orange Is the New Black!
Real-life issues make their way into Orange Is the New Black season seven, and the storylines hit home for many people. One of the most prominent ones is immigration. More than one character we've known for seasons and seasons is faced with deportation. Maritza Ramos (Diane Guerrero), who did not appear in season six, became a main player in the first few episodes of the final season, and her story doesn't end in smiles.
Since she wasn't in the previous season, we don't see exactly when she is released from prison. But we do see that she's enjoying the nightlife, even though her probation is supposed to stop her from doing that. Maritza meets an NBA player based in Los Angeles who wants to bring her there. She doesn't tell him about her past and how she can't leave the state,...

[This story contains major spoilers from the final season of Netflix's Orange Is the New Black.]

Warning: Spoilers ahead for the series finale of Orange Is the New Black.
Immigration is a heavy topic tackled in the latest season of Orange is the New Black. One of its original characters, Blanca Flores (Laura Gómez), in particular, finds herself at the center of the deportation scandal. All season long, we watch Blanca's time in the Us quickly drift away like sand in an hourglass. Her green card expires, her freedom is at risk, and the love of her life disappears into Ice custody. Let's just say, Blanca's story gives us all the feels.
We start by seeing Blanca in an Ice detention center alongside Maritza (Diane Guerrero). Confusing, because last season we see her walk free, kicking rocks to the Litchfield Penitentiary. We come to find that her freedom came with a price: her immigration status. With the help of her new pal, Karla Córdova (Karina Arroyave...
