A Nov. 15 order by Judge Emmett Sullivan of the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., ordered the federal government to end these Trump-era asylum restrictions by Dec. 21, 2022. Sullivan called the Title 42 policy “arbitrary and capricious.”The journey began at Xeriscape Park in the south Texas border city of Brownsville.
One by one, then in groups, the caravan participants appeared, standing at the port-of-entry Gateway International Bridge. After exchanging greetings, Felicia Rangel-Samponaro and Victor Cavazos—co-directors of the Sidewalk School for Children Asylum Seekers, a humanitarian and mutual aid nonprofit—escorted members over the bridge into Matamoros, Mexico.
“We must remember the connections ‘Journey for Justice’ is trying to draw between … all the deaths along the border,” said Camilo Pérez-Bustillo, co-organizer and executive director of the National Lawyers Guild in San Francisco. “All are due to the same forces. … It’s the same victims. It’s the same perpetrators. It’s the same structures that move all that machinery.
