Scenes From the US-Mexico Border

November 18, 2021

UMC Photographer and Deaconess Try to Amplify the Voices of Migrants

United Methodist Deaconess Cindy Johnson visits with children at a makeshift camp for migrants in the Plaza de la República in Reynosa, Mexico. About 2,000 migrants, many from Central America, have taken up residence in the plaza, just yards away from the McAllen - Hidalgo International Bridge into the U.S. Many of those living in the camp were deported from the U.S. under Title 42, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention order that allows the U.S. to rapidly expel migrants for public health reasons during the COVID-19 pandemic.
