2026-01-1215 minTalking About Latin AmericaYou Actually *Can* Protect People from Crime Without Destroying Democracy This is a variation of a talk that I give a few times per year. (It's usually shorter.) I haven't written it up as a publication yet. The gist: it's perfectly possible to protect people from crime without locking up 3 percent of a country's male population, blowing up civilian boats on the high seas, and dismantling democracy. Long experience in Latin America shows that short-term fixes, especially anything that conflates organized crime groups with insurgents or "terrorists," are a dead end. ...

2025-12-1226 minTalking About Latin AmericaWhy is there less migration at the U.S.-Mexico border? This is audio accompanying [a video presentation](https://youtu.be/0v7akdHu40A) that walks through what the data tells us is happening at the U.S.-Mexico border, why so few people are migrating amid Trump's crackdown, and whether numbers are likely to stay low. "Keeping people from migrating by withdrawing rights and instilling terror" is not a policy success, just because "numbers are down." After running through the latest data, this presentation looks at the dangers—including dangers to U.S. democracy— of what is happening now, and the outlines of a far better, rights-respecting, sustainable approach.

Huevos Revueltos con PolíticaLa lista Clinton: el castigo político de Trump a PetroEl presidente Gustavo Petro, su exesposa, su hijo mayor y su ministro del Interior entraron en la lista Clinton, que castiga a los supuestos colaboradores de traficantes de drogas. Ni siquiera el expresidente Ernesto Samper, a cuya campaña entró plata de narcos, estuvo en esa lista. Y no existen pruebas de nexos entre los Petro o el ministro con grupos criminales que trafiquen droga. Por eso, la sensación generalizada es que la decisión de la Casa Blanca es un castigo por las peleas políticas que Petro cazó con su contraparte gringa. Para Adam Isacson*, nuestro invitado de hoy...

Latin America Today"We Are in the Middle of a New Family Separation Crisis"Since January, the United States' migrant detention and deportation system, which was already troubled, has become increasingly opaque. Access to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities is restricted, internal oversight agencies have been hollowed out, and credible information about conditions inside is scarce. Yet reports that have emerged, some from those who have recently been deported, tell a troubling story echoing the darkest moments of recent U.S. immigration history.

World Politics ReviewBiden Confronts Trump's Disastrous Legacy on ImmigrationSince he took office last month, President Joe Biden has moved quickly to overhaul Donald Trump's immigration policies. Among other measures, the new administration has moved to rebuild the U.S. refugee resettlement program, which had been gutted under Trump; ended the "safe third country" agreements that aimed to force asylum-seekers to first register their claims in other nations before traveling to the United States; stopped construction of the wall along parts of the U.S. border with Mexico; and issued a 100-day pause on deportations, although that order has been temporarily blocked by a federal judge. ...

Here I explain the budget process, what we know of the administration's wall-building plans, and why it's a bad idea. The White House's 2017 budget request is here. Here is a report and a CBP document, released by Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri), with the best level of detail we've seen about wall-building plans. Here's a piece I did for WOLA at the end of March called "Throwing Money at the Wall."
