Lord, thank you for the beautiful people You’ve made. Thank you for the hearts You’ve
given us for our neighbors. I pray we continue forth in courage, arm in arm, to show the
world the kind of love and mercy You have shown us. I pray for divine protection over
the mothers and fathers who worry. I pray peace over them that comes through Your
presence. I claim with authority that good will always triumph over evil. There is no
darkness that You cannot light up. I pray for advocates to be granted wisdom and
resolve to stand in the face of tyranny and not back down. In Your holy name I pray!
Amen!

Followers of immigration rights are closely monitoring the case of 28-year-old immigration activist Catalina Santiago, who was detained by U.S. Border Patrol agents Aug. 3 at the El Paso International Airport. Santiago – an indigenous Zapotec from Oaxaca, Mexico – was carrying work authorization documents at the time of her detention but has been held in custody at the El Paso ICE detention facility for more than a month.
Santiagos detention has sparked concern as it highlights the fragility of legal protection for recipients such as her of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), often known as DACA, provides work authorization and temporary protection from deportation, but does not confer legal status. A judge will hear her case on Sept. 10.
