This is a VERY important article, and I hope my own followers will read it. The environmental devastation that will result from squandering so much water on Trump's "Maginot Line" may render parts of the US inhospitable (or certainly far less hospitable).
In answer to your "Discussion Questions": (1) "How can Tucson residents safely support mixed-status families facing increased ICE enforcement?" I wish I knew!
(2) "What accountability mechanisms could prevent Border Patrol fatalities when federal prosecution has failed for 15+ years?" None, because Trump has packed the courts with too many ideologue judges. "Justice" is nonexistent in this country (if I may parody a comment by the Marquis de Sade in his novel, JULIETTE).
(3) "Should local news outlets do more collaborative border reporting like this panel, instead of parachute coverage during 'crises'?" Absolutely! They MUST!
Powerful investigative work here. The 342 deaths with zero convictions isnt just a statistic, it's evidence of institutional design where accountability mechanisns were structurally omitted from the post-9/11 DHS creation. Working in compliance systems, I've seen how missing oversight frameworks at formation become nearly impossible to retrofit. The Fisher Industries contract pattern shows how enforcement theater generates profit while actual security metrics remain unmeasured. Really appreciate the panel format bringing multiple beats together.

If the people (thugs), in Minneapolis are border patrol why does the media keep referring to them as ICE?
What's the difference between Border Patrol and ICE?
