The Border Chronicle

Border Chronicle founders, Todd and Melissa, talk about how law enforcement surveillance, high-speed chases instigated by Border Patrol, unwarranted searches and seizures, and other heavy-handed policing that border communities have endured for decades has now moved into the interior of the country. They also discuss Todd’s upcoming book on climate change and the Rio Grande, and recent Border Chronicle community events in the borderlands —stay tuned for more in the Fall! And they talk about the Trump administration’s attempt to install 500 miles of buoy barriers on the Rio Grande, and walls that are currently being built through environmentally sensitive areas, sacred sites and areas where there has historically been little migration.
