The MexicoBlog of the Americas Program, a fiscally sponsored program of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), is written by Laura Carlsen. I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective.

Immigration Crackdown - Georgia: New panel to punish officials who violate illegal immigration laws
New panel to punish officials who violate illegal immigration laws | ajc.com: "Three of Georgia’s top leaders are preparing to create a powerful investigative panel aimed at cracking down on state and local officials who fail to enforce the state's immigration-related laws.
Called the Immigration Enforcement Review Board, the seven-member panel will have the power to investigate complaints filed against city, county and state officials, hold hearings, subpoena documents, adopt regulations and hand out punishment. That punishment could include loss of state funding for government agencies and fines up to $5,000 for officials who "knowingly" violate the laws."
