Show Notes

This week marked the return of the controversial “Remain in Mexico” policy, as two asylum seekers were sent back to Tijuana to await the resolution of their cases. Plus, Congress ditched a controversial measure last month that would have required women to register for the Selective Service — supporters of gender-neutral registration say they'll keep working to include women. Also, our weekend arts preview has some intriguing ensemble music and lots of new visual art from border artists, including an exhibition of painted renditions of celebrity mugshots.
