ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Corchado is a Mexican-American journalist and author of two books, “Midnight in Mexico” and “Homelands.” He serves as the Mexico City bureau chief and border-Mexico correspondent of the Dallas Morning News in Texas.
As a leading reporter, Corchado will share his stories from the press and expertise on immigration and national security issues, particularly the drug-related violence that threatens Mexico’s national security and border communities.
He has reported on the reach of Mexican drug cartels into the United States, the plight of Mexican and Central American immigrants in the U.S. and government corruption on both sides of the border. With the recent deaths of Mexican journalists, Corchado’s work is even more necessary.
