including Washington Post article about tear gas

Spent a week at a hospitality house in El Paso at Tepeyac Institut, a seminary, volunteering through Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of San Antonio.  (El Paso is in an archdiocese with no Catholic Charities of its own.)

These children spent 5 days sleeping on floor before ICE brought them to Catholic Charities hospitality center at Tepeyac Institut in El Paso where they and their parent(s) rested up for their travel to sponsors (usually extended family members) somewhere in the United States.

Returning by bus this last Sunday, November 25, got a text that migrants had been tear-gassed over at Tijuana.  Today have received a Washington Post article worth putting here by way of link:



Only realized today that Tijuana is almost Aunt Janey.  Tia Juana would be appalled, wouldn't she?

Hope to go down to volunteer with Las Tías y Abuelas Enojadas in the Rio Grande Valley in December.  Maybe Tía Juana is among them?
