A Call to Catholic Charities NY Helps Immigrant Mother Abused by Agents at US Border

A Guatemalan woman living in California picked up the phone and called for help. The hotline she called was staffed by Catholic Charities New York. That single call ended both her nightmare of abuse, led to her 12 year-old son being moved out of a now infamous U.S. border holding-facility, and was followed by a decade-overdue reunion with her son.

Immigration Hotline Calls Reveal The Best and Worst of Human Nature

This was not a good weekend for the U.S. Not just for immigrants, but for all of us. There has been too much hurt, uncertainty, anger, and too much fear. But it's not all bad - when things get bad, good people step up. We have seen much generosity, hard work, solidarity, and many good Samaritans.

Immigrant Children’s Drawings Capture a Moment in History

One of the drawings shows adults behind bars with children behind them, while outside the bars are figures by a table wearing hats and utility belts – one smiles, one does not. Another is of a barred chamber with toilets – no people.
