Darién update: witnesses estimate that at least 12 migrants were forcibly taken by Panamanian border police after the reception center protest. 2 days later, family members still don’t know where they are. Videos I’ve received appear to show police violence against migrants.

I'm grateful to be here with Red Franciscana para Migrantes Quixote Center Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center ImmDef Margaret Cargioli Adriel Orozco Witness At The Border Thcartwright . We'll post updates & look out for our report on the situation in the Darién next month. Contact me for more info about yesterday's incident.

I’m in the Darién, Panama. Yesterday after we left a govt reception center, a Colombian man sent me videos showing a peaceful protest- migrants chanting “nos queremos ir.” Police respond w force, pepper spray, & take many away. Desperate family members don't know where they are🧵

In the Darien with other attys and advocates on the Quixote Center’s Solidarity Trip where we are speaking w/ migrants to learn about their experiences and uplift their voices in an upcoming report. ImmDef Julia Neusner Witness At The Border Thcartwright Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center 1/4

This is a massive escalation in Texas’s war on the federal government and on people of faith who feel called by God to support the stranger.

Annunciation House has been a vital partner to the Border Patrol over the last decade as well. They’ve helped El Paso immensely.

Congratulations John Washington!
