Annunciation House does really good work w/migrant community. ICE, who usually wxoordinates with them, has instead been dumping large groups of asylum seekers who have been cleared to go to their sponsors on the streets of El Paso in freezing temps over Christmas holidays.
They are processing folks much faster than normally-1 can only guess their detention facilities R full-but that doesn’t excuse the fact that they R ignoring their regular protocol 2 coordinate with the charitable organizations who then ensure these folks get...
a warm shower, some clean clothes, a hot meal, and help deciphering travel plans to wherever their sponsor families are located.
Most of these folks have to negotiate several bus stops along the way and not speaking the language, have no earthly idea how to get on the correct bus during a transfer-it’s fucking heartbreaking💔.
Word when we were out at Tornillo was that Annunciation House was absolutely slammed-volunteers were scurrying all over the city trying to retrieve and help these poor souls seeking asylum in our country.
Less than 10% will B accepted-some reports put it closer to 1%-those that do not R deported back 2 circumstances that caused them 2 make this horrendous trip 2 begin with I tell U all this cuz Annunciation House is begging 4 donations so they can continue 2 help these poor souls
These R the “saints” right here-these R the folks doing the extremely hard work of not only caring 4 asylum seekers as they pass thru El Paso, but also holding their pain during their brief respite.
One of the volunteers told me that almost to a person, their first hysterical communication is “Do you know where they have taken my child(ren)? Can you please help me find my child(ren)???” 😭😭😭
I simply cannot communicate how much pain is being cause by this rapey racist bastard and his handpicked posse of sadists.
I can highly recommend this organization. We have 3000+ followers. If each of us gave just $10, we could make a huge difference. You can donate funds through the FB page or website. May your generosity be multiplied 10-fold😘 annunciationhouse.org
