Yesterday, the U.S. Border Patrol El Paso Sector released alarming numbers of migrant deaths.

Our current broken immigration system and inhumane border policies are responsible for these unnecessary deaths. It is time for Congress to through a humane and accountable border policy.

These deaths are not normal. We must do better.

Durante estas fechas navideñas, muchos niños, madres, mujeres y familias enteras de refugiados han sufrido la incertidumbre, el miedo y las duras condiciones meteorológicas. Eso nos recuerda el trabajo que aún queda por hacer para que todas las personas, independientemente de su lugar de origen o de su situación legal, sean tratadas con dignidad y respeto. Este Día de Navidad, con la ayuda de nuestra Iniciativa de Solidaridad con los Refugiados, nuestro equipo BNHR sorprendió a los niños migrantes con un rayo de alegría. Hoy se han repartido más de cien regalos a niños y niñas refugiados y migrantes. 🎁

Estamos en solidaridad con nuestros refugiados y seguiremos trabajando para promover y proteger sus derechos humanos y constitucionales. La Red Fronteriza por los Derechos Humanos piensa en ustedes y les envía un abrazo lleno de esperanza.
