Migrant March to End the Wait 

This will be the sixth #SaveAsylum action organized since August 2020 and the final of the Trump presidency. Asylum seekers and migrant activists now look to Biden with great expectations based on the promises he made to restore the asylum process both during his campaign and upon winning the election. Yolani, originally from Honduras, has been waiting in Nogales under MPP (Migrant Protection Protocols) with her teenage daughter since January 2020. “The hopes we have in the new government is what we have been waiting on for a long time, only now, with the new president, they are much greater,” she says. “But [Biden] needs to see that we are still here. We haven’t gone anywhere and our wait continues; and we hope that he sees all the injustices that have been committed by the previous government.”
