Yesterday, the Trump administration declared a national emergency.
This manufactured emergency demonstrates that the Trump administration is willing to do whatever it takes to separate families and destroy communities by continuing to push forward a border wall.

Border communities have been leading the fight to keep families together and resist against the border wall, even before Trump took office. But this fight doesn't end with a physical border wall. Billions of dollars were allocated in the recent spending bill to fund border patrol, ICE, and enforcement all across the country. It's not just our border communities that feel this, its something that affects our whole country.
Just last week, my friend and fellow Cosecha Texas organizer Juan Ortiz was one of many activists in El Paso who went to Trump's rally to call attention to the #ElPaso9 who are being detained, put in solitary confinement, and force-fed. Yet, they were met with violence not only from security, but from Trump's followers. We know how much deeper the fight against the true emergency happening in our anti-immigrant country goes.
