The National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights produced Guilty by Immigration Status, "a piercing wake-up call to community organizations and immigrant rights advocates to understand the systemic nature of the challenges and obstacles facing the immigrant rights movement’s call for socially just immigration reforms that must include a sustained struggle for justice and human rights." No More Deaths is listed as a contributor!
The Department of Homeland Security's recently resigned Dora Schriro authored a review of detention conditions, which is now public. Hopefully, the suggested reforms will be seriously considered by CBP as well as ICE. If you want to make that hope a reality, consider joining the custody standards campaign! We've made some serious headway since we released our report last September, but there is no shortage of work to do. |

Editorial, New York Times: “Water in the desert” |
|
"When the government cracks down on illegal crossings while refusing to establish a safe, sane alternative, funneling people into the remotest stretches of a burning desert, it shares responsibility for the awful results. One of those results is plastic bottles. Another is corpses."

Tucson Weekly Cover Story: “The activist question” |
|
“This is a place of ghosts. Ask anyone who walks these trails, in the bare-knuckle desert.
“Here among high scrub, south of Arivaca, sunlight glances off water bottles, candy wrappers, tennis shoes, rosaries and a tiny picture of the Virgen de Guadalupe in yellowing, cracked plastic. Such things are hastily abandoned in the headlong passage between life and death, the fate of their owners unknown.”

“Border visit presents other side of issue” |
"I had the privilege of listening to some of these stories this summer as a volunteer for 'No More Deaths' (nomoredeaths.org), an organization whose mission is to prevent fatalities in the Arizona desert along the U.S.-Mexico border. I was sent to Douglas, Ariz., a border town just north of Agua Prieta in the state of Sonora. My co-volunteer and I crossed the border every day for a week to lend a hand at the Migrant Center of Agua Prieta, some 10 yards from where our border patrol leaves the migrants apprehended trying to cross into the Land of Liberty and Prosperity."

 A delegation from No More Deaths, Samaritans, and BorderLinks recently spent three weeks in Germany and Malta to witness the plight of migrants and refugees in Europe. The presentation will focus on the humanitarian crisis and human rights violations currently taking place in the Mediterranean, and the ongoing response of faith-based groups in Germany and Malta. Come learn about the startling similarities in border policies between the U.S. and the E.U., and what you can do to help!
