About the essays

Martínez Roque v. USA is a nonfiction political essay series examining how the United States enable exploitation through institutional neglect, bureaucratic indifference, and structural violence. At the center of the series is Ramon Ontiveros as a case study in its impersonation. Ramon Ontiveros is not America, yet he learned how to perform it: how to invoke its myths, brand himself with its symbols, claim moral authority, and weaponize legality while conspiring to defraud the United States, exploit immigrant vulnerability, enforce deprivation, and retaliate against a human trafficking survivor.
