As TX Attorney General Paxton’s attack on Annunciation House continues, this article explores the power and importance of their work. Helping up to 10,000 migrants find shelter per day, Annunciation House supports true survivors, like a 25-year-old mother with cancer, who passed through 9 countries with her three-year-old, only to be beaten nearly to death. And like Wilson, who survived the fire in City Juárez, Mexico, that killed 40 people. Wilson was so injured he was carried across the border on a stretcher. (You can support Wilson by donating to Annunciation house and putting “For Wilson” in the special instructions).

Instead of supporting Annunciation House’s incredible work, Paxton is trying to shut it down, calling it a “stash house.” Crystal Sandoval, a caseworker from Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center, says this action “feels like retaliation” because “El Paso has demonstrated how to stand in the breach and put humanity back into the migration equation.”
