While reporting near the construction of Trump's border wall between California and Mexico, Jenn Dize and independent journalist Tina-Desiree Berg were shooting video and gathering photos when they noticed what looked like a drone buzzing over them. 

Next thing they knew, they noticed what looked like a police car tailing them....

It was border patrol.



The duo was pulled over. The border agent had already run Tina's vehicle plates, questioning her on why someone from Los Angeles was down at the border.

Knowing that Trump's border patrol have been targeting journalists, Jenn & Tina had to act FAST. Fortunately, they were able to spin a convincing story of getting lost "looking for the Pacific Trail." They sold it well and the Border agent let them go.

I don't know about you, but I breathed a sigh of relief after knowing this could've went an entirely different and horrible way.

Have no fear...the daring duo will be back at it again tomorrow, interviewing Native Americans about their battle against these exact same border agents who are helping Trump build his border wall ON TOP OF THEIR ANCESTORS SACRED BURIAL GROUNDS.

To be direct: this reporting—from Jenn's great work in Portland and now in San Diego (and next LA)—is EXPENSIVE. It's also RISKY. We greatly appreciate your support.
