VICE: WHAT MPP LOOKS LIKE

Before the COVID-19 outbreak, VICE’s Paola Ramos traveled to the largest refugee camp on the U.S.-Mexico border to hear from asylum seekers, lawyers and doctors grappling with the Trump administration’s Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), also known as the “Remain in Mexico” policy. “In the absence of governmental aid, migrants have been relying on a network of NGOs and volunteers to provide services in the camp. We meet Cuban doctor Dairon Elisondo Rodriguez, a fellow asylee, who treats patients while he waits for his asylum hearing, and we follow a group of mothers hoping to cross the border to bring their medically high-risk children to safety.”
