Nina Phillips, one of AlOtroLado_Org's founders, has over two decades of experience in the field—but she has never seen an “apocalyptic hellscape' at the border like the one unfolding now under the Trump administration. CloseTheCamps Lights4Liberty
Nina Phillips found out that her passport had been flagged by the U.S. government when she and her young daughter attempted to travel outside the country; when they landed, they were detained for 10 hours before being deported back to the U.S. Phillips cannot leave the country anymore—not even to go to Tijuana, Mexico, to meet with clients—because of this travel restriction generated by our country and circulated globally.
The organization has been embedded in such work formally since 2012, but Phillips, one of its founders and an activist with over two decades of experience in the field, has never seen a border crisis like the one unfolding under the Trump administration—which she calls an “apocalyptic hellscape.” The Trump administration is also threatening to conduct raids using ICE to round up undocumented immigrants in the United States. This threat creates terror in largely Latinx communities across the country.A slew of lawmakers recently went to detention centers housing migrants in Texas and Florida to see first-hand what conditions were like; they reported back on social media and in official statements on a sad show of inhumanity.
