'We think it's vital that people understand what the government is doing and its cruelty,' said RAICES Video Director Natasha Pizzey.
Echoing the State Department's real-life advisory for Tamaulipas, the video's narration warns that the region has a level 4"do not travel" advisory with"violent crime such as murder, armed robbery, car-jacking, kidnapping, extortion and sexual assault" common in border towns like Matamoros.
"In fact, you can stay for a really, really long time under our exciting new policy: The Migrant Protection protocols," it adds, accompanied by a suddenly upbeat soundtrack. Noting that the immigration policy, which has seen more than 47,000 asylum seekers forced to wait in Mexico while their immigration cases play out in the U.S., has been in place for nearly a year now, Pizzey said the lack of public outrage over the policy continues to astound her.
Many people appear to believe that the Remain in Mexico policy only applies to asylum seekers who try to cross into the U.S. outside of designated ports of entry, Pizzey said. That is not the case, she sought to make clear. In a recent report, Human Rights First warned that it had identified at least 636 publicly reported cases of"rape, torture, kidnapping and other violent assaults against asylum seekers and migrants forced to return to Mexico by the Trump administration." Among those cases were at least 138 in which children were reported to have been kidnapped or nearly kidnapped while in Mexico under the so-called Migrant Protection Protocols.
