For the last two years, I’ve been speaking w the Timothee family about Benine’s life - and the circumstances around her death.
Six years after she was shot & killed, there have been no arrests. No suspects.
But there is a theory — and it involves a cover up.

Listen to our new mini-series, 'A Family's Peace,' about a family's quest for truth.
Benine Timothee was just 36-years-old when she was shot and killed in broad daylight. But no one knows who killed Benine and why.

Many would-be asylum seekers have left border cities like Tijuana since Trump took office.
But for thousands who remain, their hope of a legal pathway has dissolved into scenes of uncertainty.

In the last three weeks, the Trump administration has purged federal law enforcement agencies of prosecutors and investigators who’d been pursuing white supremacist groups that had been listed among the most dangerous threats to national security.

Seems to me that 8 years ago, we would’ve found out about a shift in enforcement like this only after hearing about arrests in schools and hospitals.
Trump 2.0 isn’t hiding anything this go around, but instead issuing statements.
The fear is the point. apnews.com/article/immigrati…

The real reason Texas can't control its border: it needs the migrants too badly.
For 8 months, I've investigated undocumented construction workers, the bosses hiring them, and the politicians who look the other way:
