“Margaret Regan, a prize-winning Tucson author and journalist, will discuss the current state of the border and immigration. Her talk is titled, “Immigrants Under Fire – The Continuing Humanitarian Crisis of Detention, Deportation and Death”. Margaret has traveled the borderlands with activists and Border Patrol agents, visiting migrant shelters in Mexico and the immigration detention centers in Arizona. In her talk, she will draw from her first book, The Death of Josseline: Immigration Stories from the Arizona Borderlands, to discuss the ongoing tragedy of migrant deaths in the desert. Following up with her second book, Detained and Deported: Stories of Immigration Families Under Fire, she will describe what happens when undocumented immigrants are suddenly arrested, detained and deported to countries they haven’t seen in years. Photos will illustrate the compelling stories.”

Carolyn’s Note:  We are still waiting here at BFAZ for our webmaster to migrate to a better website, where I  already have 35 plus additional events posted (beyond the ones posted here at this site on our Calendar). This event was one of them, but we’ve had to bypass a few already since Jan. 12.  Sorry to those who were relying on me and this image Calendar, but too busy to re-p0st all of them here on the front page.
