It’s been a difficult year. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity has ramped up under the Trump administration, terrorizing and separating families across Texas and the nation. Gov. Greg Abbott is demanding greater law enforcement collaboration with ICE and threatens to withhold state funding if cities don’t. Through it all, we’re grateful for journalists like Emiliano Tahui Gómez, the Statesman’s Latino Communities reporter, who keep us informed and tell real, human stories that are only possible by meeting the community where they are.
