Today our Destabilization-to-Deportation pilgrimage delegation in Guatemala City attended a press conference ahead of a hearing before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights on the growing practice of deportations to third countries and the expansion of U.S.

border enforcement beyond its borders. In the video below, @guerlinem.jozef of the @haitianbridge speaks powerfully about the lack of equal protection under the law for migrants in the United States—particularly Black migrants, who often face harsher detention, discrimination, and deportation policies. Listening here in Guatemala reminded us that migration is not only a humanitarian issue—it is also a question of law, dignity, and equal protection. Our pilgrimage traces the arc from destabilization to deportation, listening to those most impacted and learning from advocates across the Americas who are working for justice. ▶️ Watch the video to hear Guerline’s remarks. #ProtectionNotDeportation #MigrantJustice #HumanRights #Guatemala
