I cover immigration with a special focus on how enforcement and detention tactics impact immigrants, their families and communities.
My Background
I’ve covered the border, immigration, Mexico and Latin America for more than 20 years. Most recently, I’ve reported on migration, humanitarian crises, border militarization and migrant deaths for USA TODAY and the El Paso Times, earning recognition as the Texas Managing Editors’ Star Reporter in 2021. I’ve been the recipient of a National Geographic Explorers grant and a fellowship with the McGraw Center for Business Journalism at CUNY.
Everything’s an immigration story, when you get down to it.
I live in El Paso, Texas, and call the border home.

Tell me your story. I also want to hear about injustice in the immigration system, inhumane conditions in detention and the ways in which enforcement is affecting you, your family or your community. Se habla español.
