Now that President Biden ended Remain in Mexico, organizations on the ground are welcoming migrant families enrolled in the program as part of Phase 1 and 2 of the wind-down. Due to Title 42 still being in place, many migrants, even those not from Mexico, are expelled to the Mexico and U.S. border to dangerous conditions and with no resources. Organizations on the ground as part of regional task forces provide critical assistance to feed, clothe, shelter, and transport families to reunite with their loved ones across the country and provide resources to the ones expelled to the southern border.
Donate to organizations welcoming asylum seekers and providing food, shelter, health care, and other critical services.
