We have a lot of refugees here and they’re all panicking. They’re very fearful,
Maybe we will, maybe we won’t, but what I am concerned for the most is the effect it will have on migrant communities. The fear it is instilling both on migrant communities that are already in the US and have been living here and are essential part of the communities and people who are in transit attempting to arrive to the United States,
I want our families to feel confident they can send their children to school; we are not going to interact with ICE,
We started attending know your rights training so that we could know how to defend ourselves and our students, if anyone tries to, if ICE tries to communicate with us or potentially detain somebody,
Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest. The Trump Administration will not tie the hands of our brave law enforcement, and instead trusts them to use common sense,
Additionally, CPD does not document immigration status and does not share such information with federal authorities,
I will end the practice of catch and release.”
I don’t think that with the volume and magnitude of the problem that they’re going to make as much progress on it as they would like to unless they first focus in on stopping people from coming across the borders,
They want a sign of hope, they want to know what’s going to happen with them, they had their appointment canceled, but is there another option,
We are left adrift, we have no resources left, we arrived in Juarez with money to pay for one night in a hotel,
We all have a story to tell. I fled Venezuela because I was being persecuted, please give us our appointments back,
Migrants here should stay calm, there are no instructions for raids here on the Mexican side, the instructions we’ve been given is to give them proper treatment,
We have to tell it like it is, sadly, all appointments are suspended as well as any possibility of getting one,
Shelters in Juarez are at 40% capacity,
I had a thread of hope,
We came here for a brighter future, we are human beings, we did everything legally, we followed the process,
Everything changed from one moment to another, we went from hope to desperation,
I felt like every migrant, excited, after so much time waiting,
We got lucky, we got an appointment,
Right now, they are emotionally destroyed, after battling so much, all the walking, a lot of them crossed the Darién Gap,
