Latinos with DACA say they're being targeted in Texas, and a review of new Chicano vampire fiction by Laredo author Ito Romo, plus a rally in southern Arizona this weekend to save ancient cottonwoods from border wall destruction, and more!
With interior Border Patrol checkpoints to the north, and the border to the south, DACA recipients in border communities feel under threat by multiple layers of law enforcement, from ICE to local police. Nowhere more so than in Texas.
Spanning a thousand years and multiple continents, the new novel Filth Eaters casts vampires as the world's ultimate stateless people.

Happy Juneteenth y'all! If you're in Bisbee, Arizona, or thereabouts, on Tuesday, June 23, come by and meet The Border Chronicle staff at the Copper Queen Library at 5:30 p.m. Todd and I will be discussing journalism in the borderlands and speaking with folks about issues that are important to them, and that need more coverage. Come on by and join us!
Also, check out borderland resident Kate Scott's Substack post "Lochiel, Arizona to be Bulldozed for Border Wall Construction, Ancient Cottonwoods will be destroyed." to learn more about impending wall construction in southern Arizona's pristine San Rafael Valley, and what you can do. Folks will be gathering this Saturday in the small border community of Lochiel. David Hathaway, sheriff of Santa Cruz County, said of the border wall destruction:
“It is sad to see the town of Lochiel, the origin of my family in Arizona in the 1800’s, become a focal point of unnecessary border militarization and barrier construction similar to East Germany in the Soviet era. The peaceful, serene San Rafael Valley deserves much better."
