Queremos agradecer a quienes hayan asistido las vigilias, posteado, compartido historias, escrito cartas, y apoyado la liberación de Xochitl. Mientras estamos lleno de alegría que Xochitl haya regresado, no hemos olvidado el hecho de que hay miles de personas en detención - más de 2,300 solo en El Paso, y ese numero sigue aumentando diariamente. Unanse a nosotros para exigir su liberación inmediata, el Sábado, 25 de Octubre, 2025 a las 10 AM para un desfile y teatro afuera del ICE Processing Center. Alístense para un desfile de una media milla. Traigan agua, amigxs, pancartas, ollas, sartenes y cosas que hacen ruido.
We want to thank everyone who came out to vigils, made posts, shared stories, wrote letters, and showed your support for Xochitl's freedom. While we are overjoyed that she is home, we haven't lost sight of the fact that there are thousands in detention - over 2,300 in El Paso alone, with that number increasing daily. Join us in calling for their immediate release on Saturday, October 25th, 2025 at 10AM for a Liberation Parade and teatro in front of the ICE Processing Center. Prepare for a half mile march/parade route. Bring water, friends, posters, pots & pans and other noisemakers.

Free Cata “Xóchitl” Santiago! Phone zap and email flood. ICE continues to keep Xóchitl detained. We must keep pressure on ICE for her immediate release. As we await a ruling on Xochitl’s suit against the government, we must show the power of community and solidarity. Take action to demand her freedom.
Flood calls to the El Paso ICE field office and demand her release! (915)-225-1901 “ hello, I am calling to demand the release of Catalina Santiago from the El Paso processing center. On September 8 the immigration judge dismissed her deportation case. There is no legal reason for her to still be in detention, and she needs to be at home with her family and community.”

A year ago this week, Sept 18-25, the San Rafael Valley was a different place, as you can see in this video, tracking wildlife that passed by a single camera. Now border wall is going up. We will continue to keep watch — so have heart and know that all walls eventually come down. ow.ly/1zaV50WXc5Z

“In a public meeting this week, developers said the initial fill would require about 10 million gallons of water, & that the system would use 7.2 million gallons annually. Daily water use for the campus would average around 20,000 gallons a day, capped at 60,000.”

If there is one thing I've learned from studying scams: When it's URGENT, you MUST ACT NOW or lose out, it's usually a scam. I used to live in a lower-income rural area & saw them come and go. "You're poor, be thankful, stop being a naysayer." Tucson stopped it, so can we. #datacenter #lascruces #NM

Thank you for sharing all of this information and helpful commentary, and thank you for making it accessible in multiple formats
Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.
