Mother-led Search Group Joins Guthrie Case in Arizona

A group of Mexican mothers from the Madres Buscadoras de Sonora, with years of field-search experience, arrived in Arizona to aid in the search for Nancy Guthrie. After their permit to conduct a field search in the Arizona desert was denied, they distributed Guthrie’s image in Nogales and offered help, while the Guthrie family has increased the reward to up to $1 million for information. Authorities say the investigation is ongoing and searches are best left to professionals; Mexican officials say the FBI currently has no leads Guthrie is in Mexico, though cross-border collaboration continues.

The closure of the Lukeville port of entry on the Arizona/Mexico border due to the surge of migrants entering the United States is expected to have a domino effect on other border towns, according to Manuel Ruiz, chairman of the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors. The closure will put stress on other ports of entry, slow down operations, and hurt businesses on both sides of the border. Ruiz called for more resources and a permanent solution to the ongoing crisis.

"The Wind Knows My Name": A Captivating Review of Isabel Allende's Latest Book.

Isabel Allende's latest novel, The Wind Knows My Name, tells the story of two child immigrants, a boy who escapes Nazi-occupied Vienna in 1938 and a girl who escapes military gangs in El Salvador in 2019. The narrative follows their migrations to the United States and their eventual meeting. Allende disrupts the mainstream narrative about the southern border and discovers the human capacity for hope and decency in the midst of despair. The story is a love letter to children trapped by geopolitical violence and left to navigate immigration by themselves.
