We can't let Trump use this humanitarian call to further militarize our border communities. 

By now, you’ve probably heard about President Trump’s response to the caravan of migrants traveling across Mexico to highlight humanitarian issues in Central America—and the rights of individuals to seek international protection.

In his tweets, Trump sought to dehumanize these men, women, and children, many of whom were escaping violence and seeking asylum and humanitarian assistance.

“Solo Dios tiene derecho a quitar la vida,” se lamentó David Ramos, de 51 años. Su hijo primogénito, José, había sido asesinado por la policía militar mientras protestaba pacíficamente por el fraude en las recientes elecciones presidenciales en Honduras. Mientras escuchaba a David y a otros hablar sobre las heridas y asesinatos de sus seres queridos, las lágrimas brotaron en mis ojos. Me dolía el corazón por sus pérdidas y por Honduras, que también es la tierra natal de mi cónyuge.
