Maintaining my Christmas tradition, this afternoon I went down to the U.S. border wall near Lukeville, AZ to do some photography. I was here two years ago and wrote a story about it https://www.mikaljakubal.com/christmas-at-the-wall
Now, it is deserted. The groups of hundreds of asylum-seekers per day coming over are no more.

The aid stations have been removed. It feels desolate.

I did get a couple more interesting shots, though not of migrants this time. The U.S. wall casts a shadow on more than just the desert.

#billionaire and #Trump mega #donor Timothy #Mellon “contributed” $130 million to the #US #military to help pay #troops during the #GOP shutdown. Trump praised him as “a great #patriot,” but the math doesn’t lie: $130 million covers less than 7 hours of the #military payroll or around $100 per soldier. “That’s 6.7 hours of pay for our troops." Mellon also gave #trump $53 million for his #texas #borderwall https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/25/us/politics/timothy-mellon-donation-troops.html

Congress set to hand Trump🚨BILLIONS to recruit more Gestapo #ICE#CPB agents. This atrocity is underreported & endangers millions of undoc #immigrants & US citizens.

Detaining & deporting more immigrants will be devastating: family members will be separated, communities lose their valued contributions, creates more financially insecure ppl, reduces the WF, restricts immigration, negatively affects the economy..
