This issue of the NACLA Report examines the consolidation of a hemispheric bordering regime whose violence now extends far beyond any single boundary line. Across the Americas, border enforcement operates through infrastructure projects, detention systems, policing practices, and migration controls that reshape everyday life within and across national territories. Under Trump’s second presidency, these logics have intensified inside the United States even as they continue to expand across the region.
Join us for a virtual panel discussion with contributors to the issue and guest editors Soledad Álvarez Velasco, Dawn Marie Paley, and P.S.D. From a new U.S. border outpost in Ecuador to the “new” southern border between Guatemala and Mexico and the politics of fear in Chile, this issue traces how border externalization structures governance across the hemisphere while documenting the forms of migrant resistance that continue to exceed it.
