In September 2021, while reporting for the
Border Report
on the
Del Rio Bridge migrant surge
in Texas, Sanchez was detained by
Laughlin Air Force Base
military police for 45 minutes after photographing signs outside the base's gates. In a live blog on the website, Sanchez said that military police claimed she had illegally entered federal property. Sanchez was later released without charges.

The
Border Report Tour
, a ten-day project covering news stories along the Mexico?US border, launched in September 2019.
[4]
The series was anchored by Sanchez, Resendiz, and Nexstar Washington D.C. correspondent Anna Wiernicki.
[2]
The tour started in
San Diego
on September 22 and ended in
Brownsville, Texas
on October 1. According to Chris Berg, content development director at Nexstar, the mission of the tour project was to "provide a daily look at the lives of the people who live and work along the U.S.-Mexico border." News content created on the tour was broadcast on some Nexstar TV stations, particularly those in the
Southwest
, and via online streaming.

Reception
[
edit
]
Writing in the
Columbia Journalism Review
, Meaghan Winter described
Border Report
as having a clear mission for its journalists, contrasting with the guiding principle that Nexstar passes down to station managers?"commitment to localism"?which Winter describes as "amorphous and lackluster". Winter further noted that
Border Report
was able to reach more viewers than a single local newspaper or TV station could, by having its stories air on various TV stations near the border.
