So well deserved.

Feeling good. Our little media org, which began with 4 of us some 15 years ago, was just honored by @columbiajourn for our coverage, commitment to LatAm journalism. Congrats to our team & my longtime partner “in crime” @jerrymcdermott

Today's executive action is yet another in a long list of "get-tough" measures at the border that deter people from fleeing to the United States…for perhaps a few months. Then the numbers go up again.

Criminalization of humanitarian assistance at the border https://t.co/rMoCTyX2Ms

[Dianne Solis ✍🏽 @disolis]

Texas AG Paxton moves to shut down El Paso’s Annunciation House, alleging immigrant aid is ‘human smuggling.’

@AHouseElPaso responds: “The attorney general’s illegal, immoral and anti-faith position to shut down Annunciation House is unfounded.”
