What Are the Migrant Protection Protocols?

The Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) are a U.S. Government action whereby certain foreign individuals entering or seeking admission to the U.S. from Mexico – illegally or without proper documentation – may be returned to Mexico and wait outside of the U.S. for the duration of their immigration proceedings, where Mexico will provide them with all appropriate humanitarian protections for the duration of their stay.

I was grateful to be invited to be a part of the Border Experience Mission Trip led by Nathan Arledge of Myers Park United Methodist Church in Charlotte. We visited sites that support folks seeking asylum in the U.S. Our team of 12 community activists served about 1,000 meals to asylum seekers at a refugee camp in Matamoros, Mexico.
