Whiskey 8 is one of four open-air detention sites in the San Diego, California border region, west of the San Ysidro port of entry. The U.S. Border Patrol forces migrants who have crossed into the United States to wait at Whiskey 8 before being picked up for processing. In this enforcement zone, there are only four porta-potties and a makeshift water tank. 

Since September 2023, the AFSC U.S.-Mexico Border Program, along with partner organizations, has been running a solidarity aid station that provides food, bottled water, and first aid. They also document the conditions migrants face in interactions with Border Patrol agents next to the secondary border wall at Whiskey 8. 

This short documentary, "Atestiguar," covers one Sunday night shift at the solidarity station. It was created by Danielle Cosmes, AFSC human rights program associate.
