I'll also recommend (at the risk of sounding like a shameless plug) my 2024 book, Crossing the Line: Finding America in the Borderlands. It documents Remain in Mexico and every other Trump 1.0 abomination, like Family Separation and Metering, through the voices of those who lived through it. It explains "safe" third-country agreements and Title 42. It traces the origin story of Ken Cuccinelli, et al, back to the fascist, fearmonger who designed it all -- Center for Immigration Reform, FAIR, US English, Prop 187, Social Contract Press, etc -- John Tanton. And it takes readers on a mass deportation flight, the likes of which Trump 2.0 will make a daily fact of life. As Crossing the Line illustrates all that went down under Trump 1.0., it is being called "a clarion call to action" and a blueprint for what's coming. Next week.
