August – September Media Report

September 12, 2022September 12, 2022

KBI Joins 160+ organizations calling for CBP to be held accountable for pattern of abusive practices.

Confiscated items include everything from money to religious objects like rosaries.

Uncertainty and desperation in Nogales: asylum-seeking families wait for Title 42 to end.

Alongside our siblings in migration, we call on the Biden Administration to make every effort to end Title 42 and restore access to asylum.

Disappearance of 43 Mexican students was a “state crime,” says initial report.

Late in August, the Mexican government released the preliminary results of its “truth commission” investigation into the disappearance of 43 students in Guerrero.

Rafael Delgado (center) holds up his baby Liam Delgado Garcia, 1, outside their home on the outskirts of Nogales on May 23, 2022. Rafael moved to Nogales to apply for asylum after his brother Carlos was kidnaped by the cartel for four days. A federal judge in Louisiana ruled that Title 42, a Trump administration era public health order, must stay in place; making it difficult for migrants in Mexico to seek asylum to the U.S.
