“Asylum seekers dropped off at Greyhound station. Can you come and help us?”
I received this text in the early evening Oct. 30, 2018, a year after I joined the San Diego Rapid Response Network. The SDRRN was created in 2017 by San Diego houses of faith, the San Diego Organizing Project, and the ACLU to provide support for family members when a community member is being detained or threatened with deportation. I had become accustomed to receiving texts about deportations. I was not used to calls to help people who were being admitted into the United States.
