The Border Chronicle Weekly Roundup: June 27

Thank you to everyone who joined our live video talk last night with Alix Dick about her new memoir “The cost of being undocumented: one woman’s reckoning with America’s inhumane math.” Alix talked about what it’s like for people living without legal status in the United States as masked federal agents kidnap people off the streets in California. This week at The Border Chronicle, we also have an audio feature by Pablo de la Rosa in South Texas where immigrant communities say they are afraid to leave their homes for fear of being targeted by law enforcement and federal agents.To learn more about Alix’s new memoir, listen to our May podcast with Alix and her co-author Antero Garcia.
