Mural at Senda de Vida.
Three days ago, Reynosa city officials served Senda de Vida a notice to vacate within five days, and the possibility of homelessness loomed over 600 asylum seekers. This week, the shelter was granted an injunction that will keep it from closing down and being demolished.
Pastor Hector Luvia, who founded and runs Senda de Vida, asked in Spanish, “Where is their sense of humanity?”
The shelter is located on the bank of the Rio Grande and sits in a floodplain. It was built without the city’s permission in 2007. For this reason, according to the order, the structure poses too much risk, and this is why they were given five days to vacate.
