Not quite sure what to say these days for #WorldRefugeeDay, other than that it is always real PEOPLE who are caught at the ever-sharpening edges of our borders.

Thank you so much for this kind review!

Biden’s Executive Order to “close the border” is illegal under international refugee law.

It will also not work. These policies will harm and kill people, and more surveillance will push people into deadly terrain.

Right under the watchful eyes of a surveillance tower, a young man scales the wall and jumps down before our very eyes.

With one quick look over his shoulder, he sprints into the quiet border neighbourhood of Nogales and disappears 🧵
