'Party of Five,' a 1990s teen drama that focused on a family grappling with life after the death of their parents, is getting a reboot with a Mexican American family whose parents are deported.

This image released by Freeform shows the cast of 'Party of Five,' Niko Guardado as Beto Buendia, left, Brandon Larracuente as Emilio Buendia, Elle Paris Legaspi as Valentina Buendia, foreground right, and Emily Tosta as Lucia Buendia. The reboot of the 1990s teen drama centers on a Mexican American family whose parents were deported to Mexico.

The new series is headed by the shows original creators Amy Lippman and Christopher Keyser comes as millions of Latinos in the U.S. wrestle with the uncertainty around deportations and aggressive immigration enforcement under the Trump Administration. Lippman told The Associated Press she and Keyser have turned down previous offers to bring back the show over concerns they didn't want to simply recycle the same storyline with new actors. But she said the pair changed their minds after reading front-page newspaper stories about Latino children being separated from their parents.

Lippman said because of the ongoing saga of Latino families facing separation, the time was right to reimagine the show for a new generation facing specific challenges and to illustrate those threats to a diverse audience.

Louisiana governor breaks with Democratic Party on abortionNearly three decades ago, when Democratic Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards' wife was 20 weeks pregnant with their first child, a doctor discovered their daughter had spina bifida and encouraged an abortion. The Edwardses refused. US is fucked. First put state money where your mouth is. If you insist on live births, set aside $1M for each. A partial list: orphanages, adoptive parents, foster parents, Children's Aid, welfare, single mothers, baby food, diapers, child care, education JK-12 health care etc.. The government, be is US OR CANADA, needs to just leave the female anatomy ALONE. Who are anyone of you to tell a women what she can or cannot do with her body. It’s beyond ridiculous to me. Keep making medical abortions illegal, and more women will DIE from having unsafe ones.
