About us
A split screen on immigration enforcement
Christa Case Bryant
Welcome to a new week.
This morning immigration reporter Sarah Matusek and photographer Alfredo Sosa take us along the Rio Grande, where empty riverbanks dotted with deflated plastic rafts speak to the steep drop in illegal crossings. The quiet border there, which they surveyed with a U.S. Coast Guard patrol, contrasts with clashes in the interior over stepped-up federal immigration enforcement.
Meanwhile, Spain 鈥� an agricultural powerhouse dependent on immigrant labor 鈥� is carrying out the largest regularization of immigrants in two decades. That makes it 鈥渁n outlier in the West鈥檚 hotly contested immigration debate,鈥� Colette Davison reports.
And as the Iran war enters its second week, our editorial addresses the need for civilians in an AI age 鈥渢o discern the accuracy of information designed to mislead or panic them,鈥� underscoring the individual capability to sift fact from fiction.
