I’ve volunteered with pro bono legal teams in Dilley. It was a deeply traumatic, dystopian place. I worked with families whose children self-harmed in custody, then denied care. We had to pass through invasive security screenings to enter. It’s a jail. No good faith argument for any other name.

Thank you! Frustrated I couldn’t join, but this is the next best thing. We appreciate you making the effort to share.

And then I encountered the line about “traveling into one life after another, intimacy without intimacy,” and I’m just overwhelmed and grateful to find this language to help contextualize my own work. Please, please tell Adam how deeply moved I am already, and thank you 💛.

Hello! I just read the first 15 pages, and had to pause and process the dizzying sensation of someone finally capturing the complexity & heartbreaking grind of humanitarian imm law. As an imm attorney, I’ve never seen our work—and the lives of our clients—represented with such nuance and care.
