What is now happening at the border? Why is the border heavily politicized? What are the specific contested policies in Texas? What threats face immigrant-supporting organizations, and how can we respond? How can we move forward from this moment?
Experts tackled these questions and more at a panel discussion co-sponsored by the Baker Institute Center for the U.S. and Mexico and the Center for Inter-American and Border Studies at The University of Texas at El Paso. The event was also made possible thanks to a grant from the Charles Koch Foundation.
