Border Chronicle Weekly Roundup and Video Conversation about Border Militarization: May 30

Watch Todd’s video Q&A (above) with sociologist Timothy Dunn, one of the top experts on border militarization in the United States. Dunn talks about the new phase of militarization happening right now at the border, and how it fits into a larger history of military involvement with border policing. Dunn’s books include The Militarization of the U.S. Mexico Border 1978-1992: Low Intensity Doctrine Comes Home, Blockading the Border and Human Rights: The El Paso Operation that Remade Immigration Enforcement, and The Handbook on Human Security, Borders and Migration. Thanks to everyone who sent in questions, Dunn answered them all.
