The death of a CIA man
CIA informer Colonel Nicolás Carranza has died at 84,

Undocumented immigrants in the Trump era: Fears, resistance, strategies....and more
I traveled to two micro-universes,
Portland, Maine, and Manassas, Virginia,
to meet up with old and some new friends,
all of whom are undocumented immigrants.
I shared their work and learned their strategies,
and was happy to see all they had learned,
and how far they had all progressed.
I also learned about their many new fears
incited by Donald Trump’s rampant aggressions.
