EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — The Hope Border Institute, along with other El Paso religious organizations, are holding a march Thursday, March 21, starting in San Jacinto Plaza and making their way to Sacred Heart Church.
Religious representatives, such as El Paso Bishop Mark Seitz and El Paso Auxiliary Bishop Anthony Celino will lead the march consisting of volunteers from El Paso migrant shelters and other community leaders.
Once the march ends at the Sacred Heart Church, there will be a vigil to commemorate migrants who have died attempting cross the border.
This march is going on in the wake of the Supreme Court recent ruling of the law SB4 which allows police to arrest migrants and as well following of the killing of 40 migrants in Ciudad Juarez just a year ago in a fire.
