There Is No Invasion. There Is Only Militarization.
Announcing the May 25 Meet-up of the Hope Knows No Borders Book Club & Webinar Series with Dora Rodriguez & Sarah Towle
YOU ARE INVITED TO ATTEND!
Friends, there is no invasion at the US-Mexico border. There is only militarization. And a 2021 ACLU-Michigan report, Border Patrol Operates Far from the Border and Uses Racial Profiling and State and Local Police to Target Michigan Immigrant Communities,* found that the expansion in policing and surveillance in the north is only about 10 years behind the southwest.
The cruelty of the US Border Industrial Complex was a national disgrace before Trump & Co. It's now escalating at a logarithmic pace, and too few people understand the scope of the violence, death, and devastation it causes.
Please join me, Dora Rodriguez, and borderlanders from Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona on May 25, 2:30-4:00 pm ET, to discuss the human and environmental impacts of border "securitization."
