I know other reviewers probably thought this episode was The Best Ever, but NCIS Season 14 Episode 7 for me came across as preachy, heavy-handed, and uneven. To make matters worse, the crime the team was investigating (when they weren't childishly fighting over Tony's apartment) was painfully predictable.
While it was nice having Robert Wagner back as Dinozzo Senior, his appearance simply could not salvage "Home of the Brave" for me.
The issue of people who illegally entered the country as children, infants even, is definitely a painful and sensitive one. However, I would argue that Victor Medina serving as the representative of such individuals did not exactly have much nuance; the man was practically a saint, and even the thing he supposedly did wrong (the bar assault) he did right.
Perhaps it would have made for more interesting television if the man had not been so painfully perfect in every way aside from his immigration status.

(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.

I was pretty young when Robin Williams first rose to stardom as Mork from Ork, but I was a dedicated fan. I bought a pair of official Mork suspenders and wore them all the time.
