BLFC: Jenn Budd, "Against the Wall: My Journey from Border Patrol Agent to Immigrant Rights Activist"

BLFC October 12, 2022

Jenn Budd joined us by Zoom as we explored her book,  “Against the Wall: My Journey from Border Patrol Agent to Immigrant Rights Activist.”  This memoir presents her time as a senior patrol agent and an intelligence agent with the U.S. Border Patrol from 1995 to 2001, her resignation, and her many recent roles in the field of immigrant rights.

 “Her journey offers a vital perspective on the unfolding moral crisis of our time. She also gives harrowing testimony about rape culture, white privilege, women in law enforcement, LGBTQ issues, mental illness, survival and forgiveness.”

 “…Raw and truthful, no one escapes judgment, not even Budd, who searches deep within herself to examine her own prejudices as a white southerner, and the role she played as a Border Patrol agent."
