Migration separates families; they protest in Ciudad Juárez

Families separated by migration protested in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, on Mother's Day, due to border policies preventing reunions. U.S. border policies, including a new military defense zone, led to the cancellation of the annual "Hugs, Not Walls" event, preventing families from embracing. The event, organized by Red Fronteriza por los Derechos Humanos, aimed to reunite migrants with loved ones. The protest, titled "Mothers of the Border, Love Without Borders," highlighted the humanitarian crisis caused by family separations. Families on both sides of the border greeted each other from a distance.
