Schools Police Chief Indicted in Uvalde Shooting Response
The indictment, the first set of criminal charges to stem from the attack, charges the chief with putting survivors in “imminent danger.”

My coverage of Texas ranges from immigration to natural disasters and other breaking news, as well as making sense of how policies affect everyday lives. I’m especially interested in writing vivid portraits of the growing Hispanic American population, going beyond demographic statistics.
I began my career writing obituaries for The Monitor in McAllen, Texas. I went on to write for several newspapers around the nation, including The Tennessean in Nashville, The Los Angeles Times, The Morning Call in Allentown, Penn., The South Florida Sun-Sentinel and the New York Daily News. A collection of my news stories about immigrants in Pennsylvania was reprinted in the book “The New Face of Small Town America,” by Penn State Press.
I was born in Los Angeles and raised in a small Mexican town in the state of Zacatecas. I attended high school and college in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas.
