There is where you will find several types of issues with immigrants seeking asylum. Whether it's the men being held in detention centers while awaiting a hearing on their asylum cases, unaccompanied minors who are housed in a different detention center, or whole families living in tent cities just south of the U.S. border awaiting their asylum cases---some of them for more than two years---these angry aunts and grandmothers are advocating for them.
From bringing awareness to the issues, rallying support from other local, national and international agencies, this group is making a real difference for these individuals fleeing their home countries due to violence and poverty.
