Celina, do you have a source for a tutorial on how to darn socks? I have a couple of pairs that I’d like to save, if I can.

Mexico has launched an app for Mexican nationals in the U.S. (legally or no) that has an emergency button you can tap to alert the closest consulate if something happens or you feel in danger from immigration. Please share.
