Supreme Court Upholds Indefinite Detention

The Supreme Court reversed a decision by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to grant bond hearings to detained individuals every six months, allowing instead for indefinite detention—an average of 13 months, but for some, years—without the prospect of release to more easily prepare a case and reunite with family.

Defending Temporary Protected Status

In the coming months, the Department of Homeland Security will determine the fate of more than 300,000 people from El Salvador, Honduras, and Haiti who emigrated to the U.S. after receiving temporary protected status (TPS) in response to climate events and armed conflict in their home countries.

With banners and heads held high, sixteen transgender and gay migrants from Central America and Mexico marched through Nogales, Sonora, and presented themselves at the border to seek asylum and lives free of persecution and violence. It was not the start of their journeys, but the two miles traversed between the KBI comedor and the DeConcini Port of Entry represented a major milestone for 12 transgender women and 4 gay men seeking asylum in the U.S., and perhaps marks a beginning of broader …Read More

Kino Border Initiative Opposes President Trump’s Decision to End DACA

The Kino Border Initiative strongly condemns President Trump’s decision to end the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.  On the U.S.-Mexico border, we witness daily the emotional and psychological devastation that migrants experience due to deportation and separation from families.  This action will seriously increase the degree and the magnitude of this suffering while failing to recognize and value these young people’s God-given human dignity. The president’s order puts …Read More
