Protesters grabbed their signs and headed to Waters Edge Park this Sunday to voice their disagreement with the recent immigration practices enacted by President Donald Trump.

Many of the protesters expressed fear for the future of the country under the current Trump administration, and a general support for undocumented residents in the community.

“I’m advocating for the families and the people that came here who are undocumented, but are working hard in our public school system, are working hard in agriculture, construction and dairy farm jobs that we need,” said Sabrina Silva, a Corpus Christi resident who organized the protest. “They deserve the right to be here, especially if they are law abiding people.”

This photo is a keepsake for all those who served as Foghorn Editor-In_Chief between 2000-2020. This is the window that looked into the editor's office.
When plans were made to update the Harvin Center we moved the Foghorn offices to the new GAMBY or GEN building, on the first floor, right outside the front doors of the Harvin Center. The accommodations new, shiny and a lovely journalism lab and classroom. Harvin Center renovations have been put on hold until
The old Foghorn office will now be used by Student Activities until the renovations are once again started.
I am hoping, and will do my best to return to the Harvin Center when the renovations are restarted. There was an amazing plan for the future home of the Foghorn in the Harvin Center and lets hope we can get back to where we belong.
For reference, I believe either Beth Francisco or Julian Cordero would have been the first editor to sign the window.

Del Mar College’s Student Veterans Association held a Two-Bell Ceremony honoring all veterans who have served with all branches of the U.S. military as part of recognizing Veterans Day.

Dr. Jennifer Armentrout, Sergeant Major, USMC (ret) and the College’s Director of Veterans Services, says the Two-Bell Ceremony will be the first official Veterans Day ceremony since 2019.
“Veterans Services wanted to bring the ceremony back to show support for more than 700 student veterans and student veteran families on campus,” she says, adding: “The Two-Bell Ceremony is a Naval tradition that is a testimony to humility, dignity, reverence and honor. We will honor all five branches of service during this ceremony and as we remember those who have served and are currently serving.”

For student veteran and DMC Psychology major Mike Garza, Veterans Day is a day of appreciation. The Corpus Christi native spent six years with the U.S. Air Force and was deployed to Bagram, Afghanistan, in 2013. He plans to become a licensed drug dependency counselor. “To me, Veterans Day means appreciating those who did their time in the service and are out here trying their best to fit back into society, finding where they can put forth their skills and assets.”

SEPT 23rd — This morning staff found our beloved Chaplin to have been attacked and killed by a stray dog on the Del Mar College Heritage Campus.

Before everyone strolled into their 8 A.M classes, the remains of the well known and loved campus cat were being cleaned up.

He is not the first cat the be attacked by stray dogs, as another campus cat Panther was also attacked and killed last week.

Chaplin was known for loafing around, sneaking into the news room, and being a campus favorite amongst the cats that call Del Mar home.

As we mourn the loss of sweet Chaplin, share with us your favorite memories of pictures of him. Let’s remember him with love and fondness🤍

It is great to see Votebeat and Chad Lorenz receive recognition for their great work. It is even better to see Natalia Contreras Muilenburg's work used as an example of their thoughtful and meaningful reporting. I have no doubt that many examples of strong reporting were given for the article. I am just a bit bias in believing they picked the best one. I am very proud of my wife.

See why Chad Lorenz is on the list

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) held a public meeting at the American Bank Center on Thursday, April 18 regarding plans to pass a new wastewater permit allowing for the discharge of water treatment waste starting at 34.3 million gallons per day.

The permit ties into the cities bigger plan to install a new Inner Harbor Water Desalination Plant to which the protestors in attendance also opposed.

Those for the installation saw it as an investment for the future of our community regarding impending drought concerns.

For the duration of the meeting around 100 people signed up to speak to TCEQ either for or against the permit and the installation of the plant.

What do you think about the plans for the new plant?
