No More Deaths volunteers will travel to Washington, D.C., to give a congressional briefing September 17 on the findings in their new report, “Human Rights Abuses of Migrants in Short-Term Custody on the Arizona/Sonora Border.” The briefing will be hosted by Rep. Raul Grijalva, who met with No More Deaths to learn about the report.
The delegation of humanitarians hopes to convince congress to create custody standards that all Department of Homeland Security enforcement, including Border Patrol, must adhere to.
A press conference and sendoff event is scheduled for 12:00 pm Friday, September 12 at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Tucson, 4831 E 22nd St.
