鈥淭his ongoing conflict at our border, between humanitarians and vigilantes, has long been overlooked and underreported,鈥� said podcast co-host Yvonne Latty. 鈥淥n one side you have mostly senior citizens working with nonprofit organizations trekking into the hot Sonoran Desert to give food and water to undocumented migrants who cross on foot and on the other side, you have armed militia who roam the desert detaining migrants, vandalizing their water sources and more.鈥� 听

After years of political rhetoric and disinformation, a growing number of extremists and extremist groups are operating around the border, targeting migrants. In this episode, and the following, which will launch next week, the hosts travel to Arizona to speak with humanitarians seeking to provide relief to migrants and the extremists who target them.听

鈥淚t鈥檚 not really anti-immigration, it's anti-brown people, anti-poor people,鈥� says one of the humanitarians interviewed. 鈥淭hey arm themselves up with automatic weapons and they drive out there looking for them.鈥澨�
