Las Americas Statement on 2024 Presidential Election Results

Borderland Immigrant Rights Organization Remains Committed to Protecting and Advocating for Immigrant Lives

EL PASO, TEXAS – Responding to the 2024 election results, Marisa Limón Garza, Executive Director of Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center, in El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juárez, Mexico and New Mexico, said:

“Las Americas remains steadfast in our commitment to protect our communities. Our duty to those we serve is unwavering, no matter who sits in the White House. While our country faces significant challenges ahead, one thing is certain: Las Americas will continue to do what we have always done — advocate for and defend migrants, asylum seekers, and others on the move in exercising their right to seek asylum, reunite with their families, and be free from arbitrary detention. No change in administration or policy will deter us from fighting for immigrants, LGBTQI+ individuals, women, people of color, and everyone who will be impacted by an anti-immigrant agenda. Ours is a culture of resilience.”

Las Americas urges undocumented immigrants and those with temporary legal status to seek immigration legal advice from a trusted and qualified certified lawyer if they have concerns about their safety and that of their families in the U.S.
