Report from Border Vigil Eagle Pass, Tx

In April 2024 Witness at the Border held a 2 week vigil in Eagle Pass, witnessing and documenting human rights abuses, general disregard for immigration law and lack of respect for the citizens of Eagle Pass, the Rio Grande River and the public park they invaded and occupied.

This week Eagle Pass activist, Amerika Garcia Grewal, reports that the Operation Lone Star military guards are now shooting hollow bullets filled with tear gas at migrating people who are on U.S. soil and in the Rio Grande River.

Witness at the Border is in the process of planning our next action/event for March 2025 that, preceding a Workshop for Justice II, will include a 2 day visit to Eagle Pass - details to be announced soon. Amerika said, “You will see things you did not see when you were here before.”
