Biden Inauguration – 100-day deportation moratorium – One day ICE Air grounding - Honduran Caravan stopped and broken up by Guatemala – Another flight to Africa . Click on the topic in the note above and you will link to more information.

Ø People “expelled” at the border are done so based on the excuse of health safety under the CDC order (title 42) which has put a tourniquet around the border since mid-March. Between Ap and Dec 417,000 people have come to our southern border to seek protection. 373,000 of them were summarily sent back by land into Mexico (I est. 320,000,) or by air to their countries with no due process.

A squabble has broken out somewhere in this group, in this strange place called FaceBook...

Someone believed that people who come to read here, and to write here, should feel as she does, that people should celebrate the new president and refrain from criticism. Others have pointed out that that voice comes from the luxury of privilege.

I speak from privilege. White privilege.

We have been to the border. We have seen people on both sides of the border. Many of generous spirit and intellect will admit that on both sides the people are worthy of sympathy. Others, like us, who have stood on both sides of that line of guns and uniforms and rusted steel, have had our natural sympathies heightened, and it has become for us that thing which most enrages those less generous: a deep revulsion for the institutions that block the flow of suffering humanity toward the light, toward life.
