In Granger, Indiana, a steakhouse has gone through a major transformation after owner Roberto Beristain was deported to Mexico. Eddie’s Shake Shed has reopened as The Shed under new management.

"America in the Middle" is a collection of images showing communities and individuals personally affected by policies but often-overlooked by politicians. |||

The goofy red sign off State Road 23 still says “Eddie’s Steak Shed,” just as it always has. But farther inside, most everything has changed in the year since Roberto Beristain, the old owner, was detained, then deported, as part of a crackdown on undocumented immigrants by a tough-talking new president.
