Against the Wall: My Journey from Border Patrol Agent to Immigrant Rights Activist

Against the Wall is a highly relevant and deeply impactful memoir of survival, evolution and allyship. Jenn Budd's brave narration forces us to search our own souls and ask ourselves: What happens when we forsake our core values for security and when we don't take an honest look at the consequences of our own actions? How do personal walls connect to the building of border walls, and to the expanding power and militarization of US Border Patrol, the most corrupt federal agency in the United States? Jenn Budd's journey also provides important testimony about rape culture, white supremacy, women in law enforcement, LGBTQ+ issues, mental illness, PTSD, racism, rage, vulnerability and forgiveness. In the end this is also a true story of the redemptive power of love. Every American needs to listen.
