Margaret Regan is the author of two prizewinning books on immigration. Detained and Deported: Stories of Immigrant Families Under Fire (2015) looks at the fate of undocumented immigrants who are arrested long after they’ve established lives and families in the United States. The Death of Josseline: Immigration Stories from the Arizona-Mexico Borderlands (2010) investigates the tragedy of migrant deaths in the desert. Both were named Top Picks in the Southwest Books of the Year competition.

A longtime journalist in Tucson, Margaret has been writing for the Tucson Weekly since 1990. She has won many journalism awards for her arts criticism, her border reporting, and her stories on the Irish immigrant experience. Her work also has been published in the Guardian, the Boston Globe, the Washington Post, and in many regional and local publications.
