Abstract

The article reports that Chicano and immigrant students at a school in El Paso, Texas, with support from community members, educators, civic organizations, and MEChA, successfully confronted the U.S. Border Patrol in a federal court of law. The 1992 legal case and federal interdiction policy on the border frame the analysis of the subaltern position of the plaintiffs and their ability to generate a border transformative pedagogy applicable to a transnational entity.
