San Diego State University’s Honor 113 section on Borders, Migration and Detention in the Americas, taught by Professor Kate Swanson, has spent the spring 2021 semester studying conditions at the U.S./Mexico border.
As a function of this course students read and respond to letters from migrants currently in detention, primarily in Louisiana and Texas. These letters are exchanged in collaboration with Haitian Bridge Alliance and the Coalition in Defense of Black Immigrants.
Pictured below is one of those letters. Addressed to President Joe Biden, it was sent by Cameroonian asylum seekers to Coalition member Dr. Anne-Marie Debbané. It is shared here with her permission.
