On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Ben Ferguson of the Ben Ferguson podcast fills in for Mark. In his second term, President Trump, 99 days in, focuses on "Promises Made, Promises Kept," prioritizing border security. Illegal border encounters dropped 95%, and "gotaways" fell 99%, fulfilling his pledge to close the border. The California-Mexico border is nearly empty. Trump displayed mugshots of illegal immigrants on White House lawn signs, prompting an MSNBC reporter to claim the press was under attack. The media were involved in the Biden illegal alien coverup and now they claim to be upset about separating illegal immigrant families. Separating families happens every day in our court system and the media's not upset about that. This is all fake outrage. Meanwhile, Axios' Alex Thompson said that the media, including himself, should have done a better job of reporting on Biden's decline. They were part of the coverup and now they're trying to rewrite history. Also, AG Pam Bondi revealed that a DEA raid on an underground nightclub in Colorado Springs resulted in the arrest of 114 illegal immigrants, with the club linked to drug trafficking, prostitution, and violent crimes. The Trump administration has been monitoring the club after learning that the Biden administration ignored 170 calls to 911 to that club. Biden never had any intent on stopping any of this. Biden's open border was all done by design to control the country by mass immigration. Later, Democrats, led by Rep. Shri Thanedar, continued pursuing Trump's impeachment with seven articles against Trump. The Democrats will never stop. Finally, Trump plans to sign an executive order requiring truck drivers in the U.S. to pass English literacy tests to ensure they can read traffic signs and communicate effectively with officials, addressing safety concerns due to communication issues. This is about public safety and the Democrats claim it's racist. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
In 2023, the entertainment world in the US went on strike over production studios' embrace of artificial intelligence, and its potential to replace humans in the every role from actors to directors. While TV and movie studios eventually came to terms with striking workers in Hollywood, a year later, performers in the videogame industry represented by SAG-AFTRA went on strike over a number of reasons, including better working conditions and how the use of AI in game production would impact their careers. In the face of mounting lawsuits over a controversial immigration raid back in Kern County that happened at the beginning of the year, the Department of Homeland Security says it will retrain all of its 900 agents at the California-Mexico border about respecting the 4th Amendment when conduction an operation.

Daniel Gibson is a painter of the California landscape, a visualizer of a certain kind of desert oasis dreamt of in a surreal dream as opposed to a place you have been. But to be honest, I wasn't aware of this fantastical world of desert sun, flora and fauna in Gibson's work; I just wanted it all to be real. I don't think that is important; what is important is that Gibson is capturing an essence of fantasy and freedom, a rural and desert basins, the Imperial Valley of Southeast California. This is where Daniel grew up, and though he has lived in San Diego and now Los Angeles for years, he takes this childhood daydream of his surroundings with him in some of the most beautifully phantasmagorical paintings being made today. Gibson's path to a fine art career took many twists and turns, from ArtCenter to graphic design, street posters to working at Levi's. He found himself in the studio of Mary Weatherford, another artist of color bursts and abstractions, where he learned the details of a career artists and the blueprint for dedication. The pandemic allowed him more time in the studio, and when the world was shut away, Gibson developed a body of work that has seen the galleries of Almine Rech, Nazarian / Curcio and new show just about to open at Marquez Art Projects (MAP) in Miami. In this conversation on The Unibrow's Radio Juxtapoz podcast, Gibson speaks to Juxtapoz editor Evan Pricco about a semi-retirement set for 2025 (aka, a break from shows to develop new work), growing up near the California-Mexico border, being self-taught at painting, the emotional parts of paintings and what he learned from Weatherford's practice. The Unibrow's Radio Juxtapoz podcast is hosted by Juxtapoz editor, Evan Pricco. Episode 157 was recorded in Los Angeles on March 11, 2025. This episode of Radio Juxtapoz is brought to you by the generous support of the Artemizia Foundation, a world class museum of contemporary, graffiti and street art in Bisbee, Arizona.

Here's wishing all United States military veterans in the audience a happy Veterans Day with this edition of Overdrive Radio. To mark the day, we bring you this dive into the work of the Farmer Veteran Coalition, an organization that got its start back in 2009 with a goal of a then California/Mexico produce farmer to help support returning military servicemembers in bids to enter the business of feeding the nation. We'll hear today Overdrive Radio's talk with Jeanette Lombardo, current Farmer Veteran Coalition CEO, about the FVC's recent induction into the Howes company's Hall of Fame, bringing another important support organization to the attention of trucking and ag industries: https://www.overdriveonline.com/life/article/15705903/vetssupport-group-now-in-howes-hall-of-fame-deadline-approaching-for-small-biz-reporting-to-fincen-alert FVC CEO Lombardo details a variety of new-farmer support and other programs that deliver on the org's mission, dovetailing in several ways with trucking and logistics businesses that support the nation's food supply chain. Lombardo sees plenty honor and value in the Howes Hall of Fame induction, enabling connections between the coalition and, not just new groups and people in the ag world, but also in trucking and logistics. "We're a nonprofit. We don't have much budget for advertising, ... yet we're seeing this huge increase in membership," she said, in part given word of mouth that occurs as a result of programs like the Howes Hall of Fame. "We were very humbled to receive the nod from Howes, and even more so when we went online to see previous awardees. ... I think it's the beginning of a wonderful partnership." The Hall of Fame launched during Howes' 100-year anniversary celebration five years back, said Howes Products' own Rich Guida. It's intended as an effort "to find the people, places, and things that make trucking and farming -- and diesel systems, really, of any kind -- so valuable. And for us to be able to give back to these people, and support them the way Jeanette was talking about, is where we find reward."

In this episode of "Sleepless in Singapore," I recount the final leg of my road trip down the West Coast of the United States, from San Francisco to San Diego, Tijuana, and back up to LA, ending in Death Valley. Our journey begins with a car swap fiasco at the LA Airport, where we end up with a convertible Chevy, perfect for cruising the Californian highways. San Diego offers us a culinary delight at Tacos El Gordo and a vibrant night at the Gaslamp District, while our brief Tijuana adventure is marked by a border-crossing mishap and a memorable breakfast at Georgina Restaurante. Back in LA, we explore iconic spots like Griffith Observatory, Venice Beach, and the Hollywood Walk of Fame, indulging in local flavors at Petit Trois and a Korean BBQ in Koreatown. Our drive through Death Valley is a scorching experience, with temperatures soaring to 49.2 degrees Celsius. The trip concludes with a Cirque du Soleil show in Vegas and a return to Philadelphia for the 4th of July celebrations, before I finally head back home to Singapore.

Randy has put his life back together with ease after the theft and then recovery of his van (You didn't know that his van was stolen? Go listen to Part 4!) - he's got a brand new camera and bag, a brand new laptop, brand new clothes, and the same positive attitude he's always had. Since they last spoke, Randy travelled down to the California / Mexico border and attempted to visit the most southwestern point of the US, but recent heavy rains almost washed out the road and he could only get to a few miles away. Hey, we're counting it! Randy then drove across the southern US / Mexico border, avoiding illegals AND immigration police as he went, and landed in Yuma, AZ. There, they botched some permitting he needed to camp at Quartzsite, AZ but he made it up there anyway and will be staying with hundreds and hundreds of other campers there for a few weeks. The fellas have a good long general discussion about van life at Quartzsite and how some of the residents around his spot were living their van lives.

Al Otro Lado's executive director discusses what's to come this election year: more of the CBP One app and open-air border prisons, along with a hyper-distorted fearmongering narrative of overwhelm. So, dear listeners, it is time to continue preparing ourselves for 2024 (check out Melissa's Tuesday piece). As we know, during an election year the border tends to be a place where distorted narratives flourish on the fertile ground of misinformation, and we can expect plenty of that this year, as border expert Erika Pinheiro tells us in this episode. Some of you certainly remember Erika's first appearance on The Border Chronicle podcast in 2022, where she offered her insight on the chilling impacts of surveillance. She is the executive director of Al Otro Lado, an organization that provides legal and humanitarian assistance to refugees, migrants, and deportees. In this interview, she offers an on-the-ground perspective from the California-Mexico border, assessing both 2023 border trends while pondering and prophesizing about what we might expect in 2024. Erika stresses that we have to look at “how the border is being framed,” which lately has been “this narrative of border chaos and overwhelm.” This narrative comes, she says, while enforcement agencies have more resources than ever before and while fewer people crossed the border in 2023. Yet “this narrative of overwhelm is not challenged by the media by and large.” She wants that to change, as you'll see here, and offers specific examples of what we can do. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/border-chronicle/support
Formed in 1996 and named for the California-Mexico border town, the indie rock band Calexico is returning to New Zealand once more for three shows this February. Frontmen Joey Burns and John Convertino originated the band, the shows they're playing a part of their 20th anniversary tour for their original album: ‘Feast of the Wire.' Joey Burns told Tim Dower that back when they first created the album, they had no idea that it could be an anniversary tour twenty years on. “We were all so focused on the next project,” he told Dower. “We don't often take the time to pause and reflect back and celebrate an album.” Burns said that it feels really good to reflect back on the album, their lives, and their friendships through the lens of this tour.

Despite living and working in California, one of the county's most environmentally progressive states, environmental justice activists have spent decades fighting for clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, and safe, healthy communities. Evolution of a Movement: Four Decades of California Environmental Justice Activism (U California Press, 2022) tells their story—from the often-raucous protests of the 1980s and 1990s to activists' growing presence inside the halls of the state capitol in the 2000s and 2010s. Tracy E. Perkins traces how shifting political contexts combined with activists' own efforts to institutionalize their work within nonprofits and state structures. By revealing these struggles and transformations, Perkins offers a new lens for understanding environmental justice activism in California. Drawing on case studies and 125 interviews with activists from Sacramento to the California-Mexico border, Perkins explores the successes and failures of the environmental justice movement in California. She shows why some activists have moved away from the disruptive "outsider" political tactics common in the movement's early days and embraced traditional political channels of policy advocacy, electoral politics, and working from within the state's political system to enact change. Although some see these changes as a sign of the growing sophistication of the environmental justice movement, others point to the potential of such changes to blunt grassroots power. At a time when environmental justice scholars and activists face pressing questions about the best route for effecting meaningful change, this book provides insight into the strengths and limitations of social movement institutionalization.

Captítulo 062: In this episode of Ocu-Pasión, we delve into the world of art, culture, and creative critique with the renowned artist, curator, and educator, Ed Gómez Hailing from a background rich in artistic exploration and academic achievement, Ed Gómez takes us on a journey through his interdisciplinary art practice that challenges conventional exhibition norms, questions institutional frameworks, and reimagines historical models of artistic creation.At the core of Ed Gómez's artistic exploration is a keen questioning of conventional exhibition practices, institutional frameworks, and historical models of artistic production. His body of work encompasses abstract and representational painting, printmaking, graphic design, video, and three-dimensional pieces. Moreover, he engages with conceptual models of art-making, continually pushing the boundaries of creativity.Ed Gómez is not only an artist but also a curator of note. His skill in organizing and curating art exhibitions, both nationally and internationally, reflects his dedication to thought-provoking artistic expressions. A pivotal moment arrived in 2006 when he co-founded the MexiCali Biennial—a bi-national art and music initiative focused on the US-Mexico border region. As a director and co-president of the biennial, Ed Gomez uses this platform not only for curatorial endeavors but also as a satirical commentary on the proliferation of global biennials and their impact on the art community.His influence extends further as an Associate Professor in Studio Art at California State University, San Bernardino. Ed Gomez's commitment to education and artistic exploration shines through as he guides students in their creative journeys.One of his significant projects is the MexiCali Biennial's "Land of Milk & Honey." This traveling multidisciplinary arts and culture program dives into the intricate concepts of agriculture in the California-Mexico regions. Drawing inspiration from John Steinbeck's depiction of the region as a flawed paradise, the project delves into ethical, cultural, and regional practices tied to foodways—from seed to table. Ed Gomez intricately weaves the historical narrative of a "land of milk and honey" as a tool for promoting California, juxtaposing it with the realities of ecological impact, social injustices, and cultural complexities.To explore Ed Gómez's artistry and philosophy, visit edgomez.com and connect on Instagram at instagram.com/edgomezdotcom.

In 2020, Dr. Alexander Tenorio, a neurosurgeon based in San Diego, noticed a sharp increase in people suffering traumatic brain and spinal injuries. These cases, he soon discovered, were the result of people falling from the newly expanded and elevated border wall. Under the Trump administration, the border wall's height was raised to 30 feet, which has challenged border hospitals and had deadly consequences for migrants. Falls from the border wall have left many paralyzed or unable to function independently. Most of the injured are in their 20s and 30s and are their families' breadwinners, so the debilitating injuries have a devastating ripple effect throughout communities. In April, Tenorio wrote an opinion editorial for the Los Angeles Times about the record number of traumatic injuries he's treated due to falls from the border wall. In the editorial, he cited a recent report by the Mexican government that 646 Mexican nationals were hurt or killed crossing the border from 2020 to 2022, and that the main cause of injury “was wall-related.” Tenorio and other physicians and researchers are studying the phenomenon. To date, they've published two studies looking at patients on the California-Mexico border, and Tenorio says they plan to extend their research to include the rest of the nearly 2,000-mile-long border, as well as cases from Mexico. “As a neurosurgeon,” Tenorio says, “I feel it's my duty to notify the world of the atrocities that are occurring because of the border wall extension. The increase in the border wall height has led to a humanitarian crisis and international public health crisis.” Listen to more at The Border Chronicle. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/border-chronicle/support

Francesca Claverie is the Native Plant Program Manager at the Borderlands Restoration Network. Based in the southern Arizona town of Patagonia, the Borderlands Restoration Network's mission is “to grow a restorative economy by rebuilding healthy ecosystems, restoring habitat for plants and wildlife, and reconnecting our border communities to the land through shared learning.” Through binational partnerships and community-led innovation, Francesca and her team are making progress toward solving many border-specific conservation challenges– challenges that are often not very well known to those of us living far from the border. - We could easily spend five or six hours discussing Francesca's various conservation projects, but for this hour-long conversation, we zoned in one particularly innovative project that spans the US-Mexico border called "Bacanora for Bats: Binational Conservation and Sustainable Agave Spirits." The project is focused on conserving agave plants– plants that are a critical food source for specific migrating bat populations and are simultaneously under a great deal of pressure because of the booming tequila and Bacanora industries. As you'll hear her explain, Francesca and her team have implemented a one-of-a-kind system that allows for continued economic prosperity from agave production, but not at the expense of the bat populations. It's a perfect example of a community-driven, win-win conservation solution. - A little more than two years ago, the project was awarded the Salazar Center's Connectivity Challenge prize– a $100,000 award that Francesca and her binational team have used to implement this innovative conservation solution. So we obviously talk about how those funds have been put to use and some of the successes that have resulted from the prize. We also discuss some of the unexpected opportunities and challenges that have arisen during the project, and how changing political administrations on both sides of the border have affected her work. We go into great detail about bats, the ecology of agave plants, and specific challenges that come with working across borders. Francesca also has a fascinating personal and professional trajectory, so we talk about her childhood spent on the California-Mexico border and how she decided to pursue conservation as a career. She also offers up some excellent book recommendations and some wise parting words. - I was so inspired by Francesca and her work along the border, and I believe there are lessons in this conversation that can be applied by anyone working in the conservation sector. Thanks to Francesca for taking the time to chat, and thank you for listening. --- This episode is brought to you in partnership with the Salazar Center for North American Conservation.

As we continue to follow the tracks of our friend Marci Kornegay (aka blondebearhikes) on the Pacific Crest Trail, we find her back at Lake Tahoe after wildfires in Northern California and Oregon closed the trail. During the course of the hike, which began on the California - Mexico border on May 12, Marci has befriended two women; Simone Federici (aka Glider) and Ultra Marathon/ Endurance runner and Haley Gamertsfelder (aka nattyg), a wilderness conservationist, who have become trail buddies. Thee three of them reflect on the trail so far, their reason and purpose, what they are looking forward to and will take away from this experience. And they also shares some very private habits that they've picked up along the way.https://hikingwithsimone.wordpress.com/pct-blog/ Host: Chris StaffordRecorded: August 3, 2022WiSP Sports is the ONLY GLOBAL PODCAST NETWORK FOR WOMEN'S SPORT with more than 60 hosts, 1600+ episodes across 50 shows and over 7 million downloads.

Welcome back to 50Talk. This actually is Episode 6 of Season 2. I made an error at the beginning and the end of the show putting us an episode behind. Sorry about that. This week we start the show off by mentioning the Celebration of Life for my Oldest brother and the success of it. We think all the siblings did an awesome job celebrating his life and Birthday. On to some serious conversation we talk about the Immigrant crisis going on at the California/Mexico border and all the Ukrainians trying to get into the country. Why did President Biden say 100,000 were going to be allowed into the country and not have a plan? Also why is he turning away Latin Americans at the same entry points? As usual we give our opinions on that situation. We quickly welcome Judge Ketanji Brown to the Supreme Court. (our 1st black woman). Next we talk about the Amir Locke killing and no one being charged with his death and the different ways the situation could have been handled. We have a lot of talk about guns in general and the differences in how blacks with legal possession are treated. Once again it is our opinions and views. No Knock Warrants are now banned in the State of Minnesota. One more talk about the Will Smith slap and we put that guy to rest. Can someone please help us with what the punishment is and what it means. Finally we add to Cathy's 30 years of Social Worker experience and talk about being Granparents.

Los Angeles-based artist Sandy Rodriguez grew up on the California-Mexico border, descended from three generations of Mexican painters. For In The Studio, reporter Laura Hubber follows Sandy as she creates large-scale map paintings, which tell the story of the current political moment, while harnessing methods and materials from indigenous Mexican culture. These maps explore issues of immigration – deportations, separated migrant children and protests – against the backdrop of California's majestic desert landscape. Sandy sees her role as ‘tlacuilo', a Nahua word meaning artist, scribe and sage. This is demonstrated in her unique practice as she creates the maps by collecting clippings of local plants, grinding and boiling them to make her own pigments, and painting onto traditional amate paper – all techniques that come from indigenous Mexican teachings.

Would you like to add guac to that? If so, your Chipotle burritos and bowls could cost a little more thanks to an avocado shortage. On this episode of the Happy Mouth podcast, chef Nyesha Arrington and restaurateur Philip Camino talk about the avocado shortage, what's causing it, and how that's having a massive impact on the fast-casual restaurant's menu and stock prices. Listen to Philip and Nyesha discuss the avocado shortage: According to Chipotle CFO Jack Hartung, the company has “diversified” its avocado sourcing to counteract any seasonal shortages Chipotle's tip avocado suppliers come from Mexico, Peru, and California Mexico is the top supplier but regularly ships fewer avocados during the hot summer months, typically offset by an increase in production in Peru California steadily supplies about 12% of the overall avocado supply Avocados make up between 5%-10% of Chipotle's ingredient costs, which can have massive impacts on the company's margins and stock prices The Hass Avocado Board is projecting a 5.8% decline in third-quarter avocado sales compared to the same time last year, which will make it more costly for Chipotle to make its guacamole Avocado prices have been up-and-down in 2021, seeing a 26% decrease in prices in the first quarter due to an influx of shipments from Mexico By the second quarter, avocado prices jumped up 4% and have increased another 6% already in June Chipotle has been facing the worker shortage head-on, looking to attract 20,000 new employees, increasing wages to $15-per-hour by the end of June and introducing referral bonuses of up to $750 per hire The company has already raised menu prices by about 4% to offset increased wages but could need to raise prices again due to the avocado shortage Rising avocado prices have already impacted Chipotle's stock earnings, knocking it down 10-12 cents per share in the third quarter already However, shares of Chipotle (CMG) are up 5% this year so far, creating a market value of $42 billion for the company Links: Happy Mouth Podcast Instagram CNBC - Falling avocado shipments could hurt Chipotle's margins, analyst says CNBC - Chipotle hikes prices to cover the cost of raising wages Market Watch - Chipotle could take a hit from higher avocado prices CNBC - Chipotle to hike wages, debut referral bonuses in attempt to hire 20,000 workers We have a lot more content coming your way!

On the California-Mexico border, the coronavirus continues to disproportionately impact communities where large numbers of essential workers and high rates of poverty render preventative measures, such as social distancing, nearly impossible. In San Diego County, the discrepancy between case totals tracks the region's socio-economic divisions. In the county's southernmost zip code, case rates are roughly 3 times higher than San Diego City itself and 5 times higher than several of the county's wealthiest neighborhoods, including La Jolla, Rancho Santa Fe, and Del Mar. "The virus and the impact of the virus follows exactly what we already knew about the impact of zip code and health disparities on life expectancy and outcome," explains Dr. Jeanette Aldous, the clinical director of infectious disease at San Ysidro Health Center in San Diego, Ca. On this episode of the podcast, we speak with Aldous and others on the front lines of the outbreak on the southern border about how their patients have been impacted and what they are doing to respond.
Two years ago, after living in the United States for more than two decades, Madai Zamora headed to the airport in Charlotte, North Carolina, and boarded a one-way flight to Mexico.She'd been in the US since she was three years old when she crossed a checkpoint with her family at the California-Mexico border using another child's US passport. She grew up undocumented. By the time she left the US at 26, Zamora had spent several years enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA. It offered her — and some 800,000 other DACA holders — a work permit and reprieve from deportation for two years at a time. But she'd felt deep unease since President Donald Trump was elected in 2016, especially when one of her siblings faced deportation. Zamora decided to leave the only home she'd known. Her sister and mom drove her to the airport.“My mom hugged me and said, ‘I'm not crying. You're not leaving. I'm going to pretend that you're going on vacation, and you'll be back one day'.”Madai Zamora, former DACA recipient who left the US“My mom hugged me and said, ‘I'm not crying. You're not leaving. I'm going to pretend that you're going on vacation, and you'll be back one day',” Zamora said. “We all grew up like this. Just hold it in, we're not going to cry.”Today Zamora lives with her husband in San Luis Potosí in central Mexico, a medium-sized city that doesn't feel too big or small. By leaving the US, she joined a small but growing global community of people who once had DACA and gave up on a country that has struggled to pass comprehensive immigration reform for a generation. Madai Zamora, a former DACA recipient who moved to Mexico, graduated from Johnson C. Smith University, in Charlotte, North Carolina, earning a BA in English and Spanish in 2017. Credit: Courtesy of Madai Zamora Their decisions are agonizing. Despite having greater legal protections than other undocumented immigrants, many DACA holders hit limits in their personal and professional lives in the US. DACA does not offer a path to legal permanent residency or citizenship. Some recipients figure they may find greater opportunities and more stability elsewhere. But leaving the US often means leaving behind family and hometowns.Former President Barack Obama launched DACA by executive order in 2012 for qualified young undocumented immigrants who had entered the country as minors. In September 2017, the Trump administration announced it would rescind the DACA program, triggering a years-long legal fight. On June 18, the Supreme Court ruled against the Trump administration's attempt to cancel DACA. For many DACA recipients and their families, the court's decision was a relief. Related: SCOTUS ruled in favor of DACA. A permanent solution is still needed, advocates say.Fear of the United States' hardline immigration climate ultimately drove Zamora to leave. She recalled meeting with an immigration agent about her sibling's case. The conversation terrified her. “Throughout our whole interaction, he basically told me, like, where I went to school, where I work, what car I drove, where I lived, like about everyone in my family,” she said. “The anxiety that I already had escalated. I didn't want to deal with that anymore.”In Mexico, Zamora has found work teaching English, which she studied in the US.It is a huge trade-off. By leaving the United States and seeking residency elsewhere in the world, DACA recipients may face a ban on returning to the country for up to 10 years — known as an “unlawful presence bar” — based on their years in the US without papers. “Leaving is not an easy decision,” Zamora said. For her, being away from her family has been especially rocky. “My first Thanksgiving, it was a mess,” Zamora said. She connected with her family by phone. “While I was on FaceTime, I held it in. I didn't cry. But as soon as I hung up, the tears came down.”Other DACA recipients choose to leave the US because they hit a professional ceiling. Nancy, a former DACA holder, was born in Togo and arrived in the US with her family on tourist visas when she was nine. When those visas expired, the threat of deportation her family faced was constant. “Every three months or so, we'd report to immigration to let them know where we were at. At some point, I would literally get sick from having to go to immigration. I was scared. I would have nightmares.”Nancy, former DACA recipient who left the US“Every three months or so, we'd report to immigration to let them know where we were at,” she said. “At some point, I would literally get sick from having to go to immigration. I was scared. I would have nightmares.”By her early 20s, Nancy qualified for DACA. She worried less about deportation. But her parents still face that threat every day, which is why she asked The World to withhold her last name. Related: Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals: A timelineFor years, she studied and earned a doctorate in education with a focus on health sciences education. With DACA, Nancy could also start her own consulting firm offering global data analysis. But she began hitting barriers as her business grew. The United Nations became a steady client, which brought opportunities to travel internationally. Yet traveling abroad with DACA, including for professional purposes, requires seeking permission from US immigration officials. The ability to return to the country is not guaranteed. In 2018, Nancy left the United States for Ontario, Canada, where she was granted legal residency and is on a path to citizenship. Now 30, she is also traveling. She has a world map hanging on her wall, the kind that features gold foil that is scratched off to signify countries visited. Since leaving the United States, Nancy has scratched off France, Belgium, Ghana, Benin and Nigeria — travel that would have been extremely complicated with DACA.“There's a ceiling with DACA. Yes, you can work, but there is a ceiling. And that ceiling I wanted to shatter.” Nancy, former DACA recipient who left the US“There's a ceiling with DACA,” she said. “Yes, you can work, but there is a ceiling. And that ceiling I wanted to shatter.” “I'm not spending my life waiting on the possibility of immigration reform when there are other countries that would willingly give me residency,” Nancy said. “I think that's what helped me get on that plane and leave everything behind.”In the meantime, Zamora has connected with tight-knit groups in Mexico, including Otros Dreamers en Accion (ODA), a nonprofit that assists people born in Mexico who have returned to the country by choice or through deportation. “I didn't know anyone when I returned to Mexico,” said ODA co-founder Maggie Laredo, who lives in Mexico City. Part of ODA's mission is to help returnees push through government bureaucracy, such as locating or re-validating a birth certificate, in order to document themselves in Mexico. Zamora is also documenting her life on a YouTube channel called “Diary of a Native Foreigner.” In one video, she shows how she sometimes has to hike up several flights of stairs to her building's rooftop to turn the water on for her apartment. She also interviews people like her who grew up in the US and returned to Mexico. In another video, she speaks with Yovany Díaz, who migrated to the United States with his family when he was a child, crossing the Rio Grande into Texas. He grew up in Georgia and eventually qualified for DACA. Díaz, 28, worked as a manager at a McDonald's in the US and planned to go to a state university. However, Díaz said that he could not afford to study as Georgia blocks in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants. In 2015, Díaz returned to study in Mexico. In the video, he tells Zamora he misses his friends and wants to attend his 10-year high school reunion later this year, but is doubtful he will receive a US visa in time. When Zamora asks him if he ever sees himself returning to live in the US again, he says no. “I would like to live peacefully here,” he says. It's unclear how many people with DACA have left the US. But Zamora said it is crucial to keep track of one another, especially during the rough times. “There will be a period where you question everything, where you're depressed, where you're gonna want to go back,” she said. “So having this support system is super, super important.”
Like every episode of Murder, My Dude, you'll be saying, "I'm lovin' it" after you're done listening to this one! First, This Week in Murder takes a long-overdue look at the death of Ahmaud Arbery to take a look at the long-overdue new legal proceedings in the case. Also, we take a look at the horrible way that a minor league baseball pitcher heard the worst news of his life. From there, it's on to this week's main feature: a look at the 1984 San Ysidro McDonald's Massacre. At the time, it was the deadliest single-attacker shooting spree in American history. Even 35 years later, the effects are still felt on both sides of the California-Mexico border. And to close, another rousing episode of Who Died The Worst! Like what we're doing?

We met up with Tariq, Cindy & Jacqueline at Two Alices Coffee who represent a very unique travel program Global to Local, located in Newburgh, NY. "The program global service-learning provides students with an opportunity to learn while working on a meaningful volunteer project that addresses an authentic community need in a foreign country. By immersing ourselves in another culture to volunteer for positive social change, young people will be better prepared to work within our city of Newburgh to make it a better place." 2020 PROJECT:"After visiting Ecuador in 2017 Cambodia in 2018, and Thailand in 2019, our 2020 project involves traveling to the California-Mexico border, where they will learn about the rich relationship and history between the cities of Tijuana and San Diego. Students will meet with border security guards and tour both sides of the border wall. Because Global to Local also focuses on spending time with grassroots change-makers who have identified a need in their own communities and worked towards solutions to address those needs, students will learn from local organizers who support refugees and immigrants who are seeking entry into the United States, as well as families that have been separated because of recent federal policy decisions."After their trip to Mexico, the students will act as project managers for a volunteer projects in the city of Newburgh. In the past, students’ projects have involved creating and facilitating a Newburgh Youth Leadership Summit and last year, they were finalists in a competition to win $100,000 to fund a to create a shared public learning space in Newburgh that traces and celebrates the city’s rich history. is program is richly diverse with many wonderful facets giving students a very rewarding experience that can last a lifetime. Global to local is funded through donations. Global to Local is a 501c3 charitable program. 100 percent of the funds received ($2,500 for one student) will go towards two weeks of food, airfare, and lodging for one student’s 2019 trip.

While the clock winds down, some will fight, some will hide, others will embrace what it means to purge to its fullest extent -- whether for revenge, personal gain, protection, or unadulterated glee.

Follow Katja on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter. PLACES TO GO IN BAJA CALIFORNIA Valle De Guadalupe is a beautiful place that is basically Mexico’s answer to Napa Valley. Without the high price tag of course. This is great place to visit some wineries and taste great wine. About halfway down the peninsula is the San Ignacio Lagoon where you can see where the Pacific Grey Whales go every year to breed and give birth. They tend to be very friendly and if you are lucky you may see a mother whale showing off her new baby! The beaches may be very pretty on the western side but are not that great for swimming. They have rocky shores and the water tends to be cold and the current strong. Mexico has some amazing food by the tap water, if you are not used to the water you may want to stick with drinking bottled water. BEST PLACE TO TAKE FAMILY PHOTO Katja suggests that you take a family photo at Arch of Cabo San Lucas, also known as El Arco, which is an iconic image of where the pacific ocean meets the Sea of Cortez. FAVORITE TRAVEL GEAR Katja’s loves to wear layers, the top being her long American Vintage cardigan. As well as different shaws she has purchased in India. She also loves to wear her Vince Skate shoes that are great to slip on and off in an airport.

What causes lizard populations to separate into two distinct populations or possibly form new species? Andrew Gottscho discusses his research on lizard populations on Baja California, Mexico and whether or not new populations were formed by dispersal or due to some kind of geological barrier.
Mercy 6 (Unbridled Books) In Mercy 6, four people in four separate places within the same Los Angeles hospital all collapse and die at once. After a quick examination, Dr. Anna Mendenhall, the first ER doctor to care for the patients, orders the entrances and exits be sealed, believing the cause is contagion. With her is Mullich, the architect responsible for re-designing the hospital, which he had redesigned for precisely this scenario: containment Almost as soon as she makes the call, however, Mendenhall realizes it's a mistake. As infectious disease specialists take over, she fears they will draw out the investigation—see what they want to see—and keep everyone locked in the hospital for an unnecessarily long time. What actually occurs, however, is more complex and unnerving than Mendenhall expects, as sinister outside agencies begin to get involved and medical concerns cease to be the primary concern. The farther her investigation goes, the more she understands that the forces around her want her contained, not because of her exposure to the patients, but because of what she suspects. Mercy 6 is well researched and only slightly speculative—which makes this understated and cutting-edge medical thriller as chilling as it is suspenseful.
