A convoy of three hundred military troops joined the elements of Mexico’s National Guard at the Tijuana International Airport, a stone throw away from the U.S-Mexico border on Saturday, August 13, 2022, in response to Friday’s simultaneous attacks on public transit and vehicles from armed crime organizations all over Baja California, 24 burned vehicles in the entire state, 15 in Tijuana alone. No deaths or victims were reported. So far, 17 suspects have been arrested for the violent acts recorded yesterday in Tijuana, Mexicali, Ensenada and Rosarito. — Military and National Guard troops will be patrolling all over the state, as certain events will still be held like BajaFest in Rosarito (where thousands of people are expected to attend). The criminal groups involved with yesterday’s attacks have promised a continuing disturbance and a “fear campaign” until Sunday night,unless the government releases their captured members from custody.

Finally got a chance to come back to this western piece that had been stumping me for a while now. I was inspired by southwestern and South American textile and woven patterns for the color/texture of the background, plus the thematic idea of not being confined to a single box or frame also informed the composition. Work in progress, but I’m liking the direction so far ! . . #illustration #drawing #prismacolor #watercolor #painting #portraits #southwestern #western #cowboy #wip #masculinity #fronterizo #ranchero https://www.instagram.com/p/B9cOiGBlYZs/?igshid=2bnaatu5zeh8

Tijuana’s first Muslim refugee shelter opened on Saturday, June 11, 2022. The two-story hostel is located in the Zona Norte area, very close to the border wall that divides Mexico and the United States. The 8,000-square-foot shelter has the capacity to serve up to 150 people arriving at the border seeking asylum. It currently houses 30 people. — The hostel and mosque was built in a space that was previously used for parties and gatherings. Guests and refugees from Tijuana’s only-Muslim shelter pray to Allah in celebration of its opening. The building will serve as a place of worship as well as support for those staying in its facilities. In the Muslim shelter there are people from Kenya, Ghana, Russia and Afghanistan, among others. — A sign when entering to the shelter’s facilities is written in Arabic, as refugees take a tour of the new facility, there is a verse from the Islamic holy book, the Koran: "He testified that there is no god other than Allah, and he testified that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah."

An early morning operation took place on Sunday to remove and dismantle the migrant camp at the Chaparral border in Tijuana, Mexico. The camp had roughly 300 people living and sleeping in the area, some since February of last year, many hoping to get asylum to the United States. Families and individuals waited to see where they would go, while others left to shelters scattered around the city.
