A year ago, the American Friends Service Committee erected aid tents at the U.S.-Mexico border to support record numbers of migrants. However, as border crossings have almost entirely halted, they have dismantled their structures, reflecting a significant turnaround. With shelters closed and services redirected towards immigrants already in the U.S. or those stranded in Mexico, the humanitarian landscape has transformed. Border Patrol arrests of migrants have plunged from over 1,200 daily to 30-40, marking a substantial shift in migrant activity following military reinforcement at the border.
"This was the first time we took on this level of providing humanitarian aid," Jasso said.
"It's the closing of an experience - for now. Because life can be unpredictable."
