Nigel Duara

Nigel Duara recently left his position as a reporter for the Associated Press in Portland, where he led coverage of the Ferguson civil unrest, investigated the Boy Scouts’ confidential “perversion” files, and unraveled the history of a Bosnian war criminal living for decades in the U.S. In January, he will begin his new position focusing on immigration and the border as a national writer for the Los Angeles Times. He hopes his brother-in-law, an assistant at Dakota State, will allow him to stay in the family. Follow him on Twitter at @nigelduara.
