9/7: A record number of migrants have died crossing the US-Mexico border
Priscilla Alvarez, CNN
Nearly 750 migrants have died at the southern border this fiscal year, a record that surpasses last year's total by more than 200 people, according to Department of Homeland Security figures shared with CNN.
Migrants often face treacherous terrain when crossing the border -- including oppressive desert heat, dangerous waters and falling from the border wall.
Since October 1, which marks the start of the fiscal year, there have been 748 deaths, a Homeland Security official told CNN, with a month still left to go in the fiscal year. That's up from 557 southwest border deaths during fiscal year 2021, the previous record.....Link to the Article:
11/15: On Governor Greg Abbott's Third Term in Texas and What's In Store for the Border: A Q&A With Marianna Treviño Wright
When it Comes to Heavy-Handed Border Enforcement, the Executive Director of the National Butterfly Center Has Seen it All.
Melissa del Bosque - The Border ChronicleThe mid-term election was called for Democrat Katie Hobbs as the new governor of Arizona. This is good news for the border and the country. As The Border Chronicle reported throughout the campaign, Hobb’s Republican competitor Kari Lake amplified the racist great replacement theory, portrayed the border as under invasion, and promoted the lie that the 2020 election was stolen.
With Hobb’s win, the U.S.-Mexico border, with the exception of Texas, will be led by Democrats.

Useful Immigrant Resources on Detention and Deportation
Immigrants and their supporters are participating in marches all over the country to protest proposed national legislation and to seek justice for immigrants. The materials available here provide important information about the rights and risks involved for anyone who is planning to participate in the ongoing marches.
If government agents question you, it is important to understand your rights. You should be careful in the way you speak when approached by the police, FBI, or INS. If you give answers, they can be used against you in a criminal, immigration, or civil case.
The ACLU's publications below provide effective and useful guidance in several languages for many situations. The brochures apprise you of your legal rights, recommend how to preserve those rights, and provide guidance on how to interact with officials.
