Justice In Motion We protect migrants across borders Formerly: Global Workers Justice Alliance

Vision: Protecting migrant rights across borders.

Mission: The mission of Justice in Motion is to protect migrant rights across borders by developing and supporting a cross-border network of advocates and resources. Justice in Motion is dedicated to protecting migrants rights across borders. In our global economy, this is a critical issue that must be addressed to ensure justice for migrants. The cross border challenges to achieving justice allow

companies whose products and services we use every day to exploit migrant workers and get away with it. Families are denied safety for their children. Human traffickers are able to profit at the expense of those seeking a better life. Migrants, families, businesses, and everyone who plays by the rules is compromised as a result. We currently operate legal, educational, and policy initiatives in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Central America. Through a unique network of on-the- ground human rights partners, Justice in Motion makes sure that wherever migrants go, their rights will follow.

El podcast "Camino hacia una vida plena" recoge voces y experiencias en torno a la migración hoy.

En este episodio llamado “Deportaciones: quiénes y cómo?” se discute cómo la migración ha cambiado rápidamente desde 2025 y con ello, a quiénes están deportando desde Estados Unidos. Katherine es guatemalteca, vivió desde los 4 años en Estados Unidos y en una de las citas de migración la deportaron.

Una cita de rutina no debería terminar en una separación familiar, pero esa es la realidad para tantos inmigrantes hoy.

In a landscape where defenders of human rights face systemic targeting, hope is more than a feeling—it’s an active strategy built on collective action and mutual support.

Watch as our legal director discusses the two things that sustain her work right now: the power of local communities looking out for one another, and the profound dedication of our Defender Network—human rights experts who have spent decades fighting for justice under hostile environments.

La separación familiar provocada por medidas de control migratorio puede ser devastadora y profundamente abrumadora para padres, madres, cuidadores y niños, niñas y adolescentes. Cada vez más familias enfrentan separaciones tras una detención o deportación de Estados Unidos. En estos casos, los niños, niñas y adolescentes pueden quedar al cuidado de familiares, vecinos, familias de acogida, centros de cuidado temporal o bajo la custodia de la Oficina de Reasentamiento de Refugiados (Office of Refugee Resettlement, ORR) de Estados Unidos.

Sin embargo, los padres y tutores legales continúan teniendo derechos.
Con el objetivo de apoyar a las familias afectadas, una coalición de organizaciones desarrolló esta guía informativa para padres, madres y las personas que les apoyan en procesos de reunificación familiar. El recurso busca ayudar a las familias a comprender mejor sus derechos, conocer las opciones disponibles para la reunificación e identificar recursos que puedan contribuir a encontrar la mejor solución para cada niño, niña, adolescente y su familia.

Esta guía explica:
• los derechos de los padres y tutores durante la detención o deportación
• cómo continuar participando en la vida de su hijo o hija y en su proceso legal
• las opciones de cuidado, custodia y tutela
• los pasos hacia la reunificación familiar
• los recursos legales y comunitarios disponibles para las familias

Este recurso fue diseñado tanto para familias afectadas como para las personas de confianza que las acompañan y apoyan, incluyendo representantes legales, proveedores de servicios sociales, educadores, comunidades religiosas y organizaciones comunitarias que trabajan con familias inmigrantes.

Ayúdenos a difundir este recurso ampliamente para que las familias que atraviesan una separación sepan que no están solas.

If you read anything this week, let it be this powerful piece by Caitlin Dickerson in .

Under Trump 2.0, family separation has expanded beyond the horrific 2018 “zero tolerance” policy and has metastasized to take many different forms. Today, separations often happen through interior arrests, detention check-ins, policy terminations, and deportations that leave children behind.

The Atlantic’s Caitlin Dickerson traveled to Honduras in March to meet with some of the parents who were deported and torn away from their families, jobs, and homes.

“This time, the administration is dividing more families by greater distances than before, by expelling parents without their children, en masse,” she wrote.

Caitlin’s reporting reflects what the team here and abroad has also learned through ongoing conversations with deported migrants. Each family separation story is not an isolated incident; rather they are part of a consistent, systemic pattern in which parents are deported without any real chance to make decisions about their children.

Almost a decade later, the Trump administration is once again trying to walk back its obligations under the Ms. L settlement agreement – a promise made to families separated under the cruel “zero tolerance” policy.

In this clip from a recent webinar, our legal director explains why healing and reunification remain critical for impacted families, and why attempts to undermine these commitments only deepen the harm.

Thank you for creating space for this urgent conversation.
