In my recent work I’ve reported on immigration enforcement in New York City and New Jersey, U.S. veterans deported to Mexico, universities and free speech, a rat infestation in Brooklyn, and Haitian asylum seekers stranded in southern Mexico.

I’ve written in both English and Spanish for publications including The Guardian, THE CITY, El País, Documented, The Intercept, Hyperallergic, Columbia Journalism Review, Rolling Stone, Hell Gate, The Nation, CTXT, La Marea, and more.
