Borderlands

What does accountability mean when migrants who seek refuge at the U.S. Mexico borderlands are regularly killed by Border Patrol officers?

A draconian law from the Trump era remains in place, putting migrants in even more danger

United States policies on migration are increasingly violent, focusing on border reinforcement and immigration reform, but fail to address migrant deaths. We acknowledge and remember those migrants who die alone in the desert and we pray for reconciliation on our borders.

Pray that migrants will be protected from Border Patrol and Mexican cartels alike.

Mourn for the people who are still waiting to request asylum.

Pray for strong women everywhere who are finding creative ways to support their families.

Pray for the safety and physical and emotional health of everyone who walks through the gate of the CRM.

Pray that one day soon the border will re-open and people can again request asylum and no longer live in danger.

Give thanks for the opening of the New CAME centre.

Pray that officials will permanently stop the construction and that “not another foot” of the wall will be built.
