S t u e s s e The Ohio State University, Ohio. Abstract The escalating militarization of the US–Mexico border since the mid- 1990s has been well documented. This article explores one community’s resistance to it through ethnography of events that took place in El Cenizo, Texas at the turn of the millennium. Following the passage of a ‘‘safe haven’’ ordinance in 1999 declaring city officials would not reveal residents’ immigration status, residents endured the Border Patrol’s increased presence and abuse of power. In response, this border town founded a Human Rights Commission and spent the next 2 years collecting testimony and documenting the Border Patrol’s violations of residents’ rights. This resistance questioned the inequities inherent in the agency’s targeting of borderlands commu- nities and contested the erasure of its residents as social actors and citizens by reclaiming their rights. The discourses and practices employed in the struggle claimed a right to equality while simultaneously asserting a right to difference. My analysis engages this duality by exploring how the people of El Cenizo articulated it through both words and actions. The article contributes to an ongoing dialogue surrounding issues of rights, citizenship, immigration, and social movements and contributes to the growing body of ethnographies of the borderlands by offering a glimpse into the lives and activism of one South Texas immigrant community.

Residents of this border town were tiring of the constant harassment and disruption of their daily lives that had been mounting throughout the previous year, which spurred city officials to action. City Commissioner Flora Barton met with an official of the Laredo sector of the Border Patrol to discuss the problems. Over coffee, one morning she reflected on their conversation: y You know, [he came here to El Cenizo and] we had a meeting y . It was in English, you know, and some in Spanish, and I just had to ask him. I asked him, ‘‘All this time that you’ve been here, have you heard me ask you if you were legal?’’ And he said, ‘‘No.’’ And I said, ‘‘Well, how am I supposed to know that you really are a US citizen?

The dogs name was Blackie, and I knew right away she was trouble. I had two beautiful marijuana buds in a plastic vial in my shaving kit inside a suitcase in the trunk of the car -- and the nosey mutt sniffed them out from ten feet away. She promptly squatted, the signal to her handler that the vehicle smelled suspicious. He nodded to the Border Patrol agent standing beside my car, a stern young man in crisp green fatigues, who put his hand on his sidearm, opened my door, and said the words you never want to hear: Please get out of the car, sir. I sighed and got out. Several agents surrounded my car and popped the trunk. I watched helplessly as Blackie jumped in and ferreted out my little stash faster than I could have gotten to it myself. One of the agents held up the plastic vial, and another made a gesture like a football referee signaling a personal foul. The agent beside me tapped my elbow and said, Come with me, sir. It was your basic pothead screwup. I was at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection inspection station on Interstate 10 near Sierra Blanca, a nearly invisible town about two thirds of the way from El Paso to Van Horn. The station has been there since 1974, stopping everyone traveling east on the transcontinental highway. I had passed through it many times over the years without any problems, and that made me careless last summer. I should have known better. Willie Nelson put the Sierra Blanca checkpoint on the map when he was busted there in November 2010, and touring musicians have been following his lead ever since. Snoop Dogg (a.k.a. Snoop Lion), Fiona Apple, Nelly, Armie Hammer (the actor who plays the new Lone Ranger) -- all made news after their vehicles were searched at the checkpoint and dope was discovered. Last year the Hollywood Reporter called it the checkpoint of no return.

It provides information on the complaint filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regarding the abuses by CBP officers that include excessive force and humiliating personal searches. It also highlights the case of Anastasio Hernández Rojas who was killed by federal agents in May 2010.

The 17-page complaint focuses on what the ACLU characterizes as widespread abuse of travelers by CBP officers at ports of entry along the U.S.-Mexico boundary.1 The alleged abuses--a number of which are graphically detailed in the complaint--include excessive force; unwarranted, invasive and humiliating personal searches; unjustified and repeated detentions based on misidentification; and the use of coercion to force individuals to surrender their legal rights, citizenship documents, and property. Because the victims of these abuses typically find themselves without effective means of seeking redress, asserts the ACLU, the cases are not thoroughly and independently investigated--despite repeated bilateral 1 1 commitments between the governments of the United States and Mexico throughout the past three administrations to treat all migrants in a manner that respects their human rights and dignity. For such reasons, the ACLU takes DHS to task for its lack of commitment to investigating abuse of power, and the resulting civil and human rights abuses, by CBP officers. The ACLU calls for immediate investigations of the cases detailed in the complaint and demands a comprehensive investigation of whether CBP Office of Field Operations officers are complying with their obligations under the U.S. Constitution, international law, and agency guidelines. The ACLU hopes the investigation will generate recommendations for institutional changes to border officer training, as well as oversight
