My work uplifts the strengths and contributions of immigrant-origin individuals. In this blog post, I describe how Latinx immigrant-origin tap leverage their identities to persist at community colleges and transfer to four-year institutions.

Opinion | Who will rebuild Los Angeles? Immigrants. And many of them will be doing it under threat of family separation.

"Immigrants will be the ones bringing Los Angeles back from the ashes. Without them, the city will struggle to recover."

We’re now at a point where fact checking is seen as impinging on free speech…🫠

House Passes Bill to Deport Unauthorized Immigrants Charged With Minor Crimes Forty-eight Democrats joined Republicans in supporting legislation that aims to deport more migrants charged with nonviolent crimes, a first salvo in a broader crackdown.

“The House passed a bill on Tuesday that would target undocumented immigrants charged with nonviolent crimes for deportation, an opening salvo from a Republican majority that has vowed to deliver on President-elect Donald J. Trump’s promised crackdown at the border.”

I’m seeing a lot of… interesting things on Bluesky about immigration. If you’ve reported on this long enough, it can start to feel like Groundhog Day—like with each administration, we’re starting over from scratch.

So it’s going to be a WWE style spectacle in the Department of Education ::insert clown emoji here::

The State of Utah banned the words diversity, equity, and inclusion but not the work of representation, accessibility, and belonging. People need to stop acting like their hands are tied. Get a thesaurus. 🙄

Registration is now open for the 43rd meeting of the annual Ethnography Forum at Penn. This year's theme: Narratives of Struggle & Hope: Ethnography, Education, & Democracy at a Crossroads. We've pulled together an extraordinary group of keynotes, panelists, & facilitators. PLEASE SHARE

What's driving 500,000+ people to self-deport from the U.S.? YouTube video by The Recount

I make a cameo in this new documentary by TNM & producer Kimberly Avalos, which explores the difficult decision faced by #DACA beneficiaries regarding whether to stay or leave. There are no straightforward choices, as they have been pushed into a set of options that are neither ideal nor desirable.

Trans issues didn’t doom the Democrats | Xtra Magazine OPINION: The Republicans won ending on a giant anti-trans note, but Democrats ultimately failed to communicate on class

Because I'm somehow still seeing lots of discourse around the idea that trans people cost Democrats the election, here's @transscribe.bsky.social unpacking the inaccuracy of that claim. xtramagazine.com/power/trans-...

Although Latino voters reject mass deportations, Trump is oiling up the machine - America's Voice Washington, DC – Below is a column by Maribel Hastings from America’s Voice en Español translated to English from Spanish. It ran in several Spanish-language media outlets earlier this week: President...

“ … Harris won the Latino male vote w/56% compared to 43% for Trump. ‘It’s categorically incorrect to say that the majority of Latino men voted for Trump,’ Matt Barreto, founder of BSP Strategies — one of the firms leading this electoral analysis — indicated …” americasvoice.org/press_releas...

“But to suggest we should yield even a little to Mr. Trump’s odious politics, to suggest we should compromise on the rights of trans people, for instance, and all of the other critical issues we care most about, is unacceptable. It is shameful and cowardly. We cannot abandon the most vulnerable...”

Dems already did this on immigration and got painted as open border communist globalists anyway. This simply does not work. Dems need to have a back bone and actually argue from their differences with conservatives rather than bending over and adopting conservative lite positions because of polls.

It’s mostly white people who talk about echo chambers. Maybe you need the internet to meet people with different ideas but the rest of us do not. We know what the “other side” thinks because we deal with it every day! Everywhere! We’re fine. Carry on. Happy Saturday!
