Dear John,

You must know what’s being done — in our names — to asylum-seekers at the
U.S.-Mexico border.

A young woman from Honduras came to the border seeking protection and was
forcibly sent back to Juarez, Mexico — to await her asylum proceedings. There, she was kidnapped by police for ransom and raped. She told us that
although her eyes were covered with tape, she managed to see because her tears
soaked through the glue.

John, this is outrageous! It is heartbreaking and
an outrage that the U.S. government is endangering the lives of individuals
seeking asylum at our southern border. Take action and stand up to these human rights violations. Say, “not in my
name!”

Mexican border towns stretching from Tijuana to Matamoros are unprepared to
shelter more than 60,000 asylum-seekers who await a hearing in the U.S because
of Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy. They are in danger. They are hungry. They
are desperate.

The conditions are often so dire that people attempt deadly crossings over
rivers and deserts. Amnesty has been on the frontlines of this human rights and
humanitarian emergency. And we must continue sending a clear message to our
leaders in Washington. We cannot allow the Trump administration to inflict suffering on people in our
names. Take action now.

compassion and attention.
