"Formerly Undocumented Woman Teaching Immigrants"

by Samuel Gilbert

On a Wednesday morning in February, 25 undocumented immigrants sat in a crowded Sunday school classroom at the Holy Spirit Catholic church in Horizon City, a neighborhood on the outskirts of El Paso, Texas. At the front of the class, Gabriela Castañeda, a human rights promoter and communications director from the Border Network for Human Rights (BNHR), pointed to a chalkboard, where the words . . . “Round up Illegals,” and “usted tiene derecho a permanecer en silencio” were written on the blackboard.
