HUGS NOT WALLS
A "Dreamer" woman is married through the wall that separates the U.S. and Mexico, in Ciudad Juarez and El Paso, TX. Her husband, who was deported to Mexico, stands on the other side of the border. This legal marriage, officiated by an American judge, represents one of the many powerful moments captured during the Hugs Not Walls event organized by The Border Network for Human Rights. The event reunites families who have been separated for years, offering a fleeting moment of connection. People travel from across the United States and Mexico to embrace their loved ones for three precious minutes, a brief yet profound reunion in the midst of a fractured system.
