Talked to #JacobBlake uncle Justin Blake at a #Kenosha barbershop/community center today about his nephew’s health, the investigation into the shooting and the family’s plans to meet @JoeBiden Thursday Image
2/ Justin Blake said his nephew #JacobBlake was released from intensive care today but still hospitalized. Unclear if he’s permanently paralyzed. His uncle choked up talking about it: “With the tech we have and his fervor, I believe before I pass away, I will see him walk again.” Image
3/Blake said officials have not been “transparent” or “forthright” with the family, and called on them to resume daily public updates about the case. “Don’t hide,” he said. Updated story posting soon @latimes
4/ FYI Blake’s pendant is a tribute to his support for #Africaunite
5/ outside the #Kenosha barbershop where I met #JacobBlake uncle ImageImageImage

Thread: A day in the migrant camp of about 14,000, mainly Haitians, near the border bridge in Del Rio, Texas.
2/@CBP doesn’t allow press to enter the camp from the U.S. and closed the border bridge, so I crossed to the East, drove through Mexico and waded across the Rio Grande.
3/Haitian migrants I met spoke Creole to each other, but many also spoke Spanish, some French and English. These guys told me in French that they were deciding whether to return to the camp or stay in Mexico.

A year ago, I met transgender migrant Mayela Villegas, 27, in a Mexican border tent camp before she crossed legally to claim asylum in Texas. At the end of May, a friend contacted me to say Mayela had died. latimes.com/world-nation/s…
2/ Mayela’s friend had a question for me after she died: “Is there any way you can help us find what happened to her?” Here’s what I found.

3/Mayela’s friend Deisy Polanco told me she had struggled since arriving in Houston. Mayela lived with conservative, religious family members who called her by her male birth name and male pronouns. “For me, you’re Mayela,” Polanco would tell her. “I don’t know any other name.”
