What Does Security Really Mean? 🦂 In this new podcast, Melissa and Todd talk about the notion of "border security" as U.S. health care gets cut to fund the most gargantuan border enforcement bill ever passed. How do we create a counterforce to this? 🦂

Last Thursday immigrant rights advocates from both sides of the border commemorated the 2nd anniversary of the tragic fire in Ciudad Juárez that left 40 migrants dead. Two years later the case remains in impunity and the head of Mexico's migration remains in office. My story for the El Paso Times

Vigil marks second anniversary of Juárez detention center fire that killed 40 migrants

Immigrant rights advocates and clergy hold in vigil in Juárez in memory of the 40 migrants who died in the 2023 migrant detention shelter fire.

I wrote a piece for this collaboration between @inkstickmedia.com & @theborderchronicle.bsky.social, on JD Vance's anti-migrant attacks on Europe and the reality that Washington & the EU are both committed to a deterrence policy that condemns refugees & migrants to increasingly deadly journeys.

Inkstick Media@inkstickmedia.com · last yr.

From Europe to the United States, border deterrence isn't preventing migration. It is only making it deadlier. Read @patrickstrickland.bsky.social in this collaboration between Inkstick and @theborderchronicle.bsky.social :

@memomiller.bsky.social at TomDispatch today: What if, in reality, there weren’t two distinctly opposed and bickering visions of border security in the Biden and Trump eras, but two allied versions of it? tomdispatch.com/the-...

The Mass Deportation Handoff, Biden to Trump

It didn’t take long for the border and immigration enforcement industry to react to Donald Trump’s reelection. On November 6th, as Bloomberg News reported, stock prices shot up for two private prison companies, GEO Group

We know a lot about the relationship between immigration policy and human smuggling. Worth revisiting this study that finds links between restrictive U.S. border policies and the growth of a multi-billion-dollar smuggling economy in Mexico. austinkocher.substack.com/p/does-us-im...

Does U.S. Immigration Policy Contribute to Organized Crime in Mexico?

A new report by InSight Crime finds links links between restrictive U.S. border policies and the growth of a multi-billion-dollar smuggling economy in Mexico.

"In short, the border is literally on fire, but the Trump White House opted to divert much-needed federal resources to produce a video about 'border security.'" (@theborderchronicle.bsky.social is indispensable especially right now)

Trump’s “Invasion” Theatrics: Act 1

In Trump’s executive orders it’s possible to see how he could build an authoritarian infrastructure under the guise of protecting Americans from an invasion.

This is a good corrective by @coreyrobin.bsky.social to some of the doom-mongering hype about Trump being able to pull of all his worst plans. Yes he will do a lot of damage and hurt, but he is weaker than we think and that means resistance can also make a difference. jacobin.com/2024/12/trum...

President Trump Will Not Be as Powerful as He Seems

Donald Trump was a spectacularly weak president during his first term. All signs point to him being spectacularly weak during his second.
