Our friends at the Hope Border Institute have released this vitally important report "Crushed Dreams: The First Impacts of the Trump Administration on Migrants."
https://www.hopeborder.org/_files/ugd/e07ba9_46f3333889a0447bb58aa6730cd9f312.pdf

Through 50+ testimonies of impacted people on the move and focus groups with humanitarian workers, they document:
1. Consequences of the end of CBP One,
2. Denial of asylum access at the US-Mexico border,
3. Challenges that stranded and returned people are facing in Mexico;
4. People returned from the interior of the U.S. to Mexico,
5. People returning to their countries of origin (incipient "return flow", we'll need to continue monitoring), and
6. Impact of funding freeze on shelters in MX.

The report also provides urgent recommendations.
