(Spoiler Alert: Do not keep reading if you have not seen this week’s episode of “NCIS”)

In this week’s “NCIS” a former Marine named Victor Medina (Johnny Rey Diaz) witnesses a murder, only for the team to discover that he is an undocumented immigrant during the course of the investigation.

Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) and Bishop (Emily Wickersham) are sent to escort Medina back to D.C. after he flees, with an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent waiting to take him away for deportation.

The storyline hit home for Valderrama, who himself has advocated for the rights of immigrants in the U.S.
