The Changing Nature of Migration in the Americas.
A discussion about the changing nature of migration in the Americas as a result of the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
The U.S. border is essentially closed. The large migrant caravans have ceased. Does this mean migration has ceased? Absolutely not. Migration is a global phenomenon that neither walls nor Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) stormtroopers can stop.
Come see a short film about initiatives to help migrants right here in Central Mexico, followed by a panel discussion featuring Pastor Ignacio Martinez Ramirez, founder and director of the Albergue ABBA migrant shelter in Celaya.
Learn more about the continuing needs of migrants and displaced people, and how you can help.
Fundraising event for the Albergue ABBA, migrant shelter in Celaya, sponsored by the Latin American Relief Fund.
The Latin American Relief Fund is pleased to present a special event on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, at 5:00 pm, at the Teatro Santa Ana, Relox 50A, San Miguel de Allende.

The Changing Nature of Migration in the Americas / Cambios en la Migración en las Américas.
Un debate sobre la naturaleza cambiante de la migración en las Américas como resultado de las políticas migratorias de la administración Trump.
La frontera de Estados Unidos está prácticamente cerrada. Las grandes caravanas de migrantes han cesado. ¿Significa esto que la migración ha cesado? Por supuesto que no. La migración es un fenómeno global que ni los muros ni los agentes de Inmigración y Aduanas (ICE) pueden detener.
Asiste a la proyección de un cortometraje sobre iniciativas para ayudar a los migrantes aquí mismo, en el centro de México, seguido de una mesa redonda con el pastor Ignacio Martínez Ramírez, fundador y director del albergue para migrantes Albergue ABBA en Celaya.
Obtén más información sobre las necesidades continuas de los migrantes y las personas desplazadas, y sobre cómo puede ayudar.
Evento de recaudación de fondos para el Albergue ABBA, refugio para migrantes en Celaya, patrocinado por Latin American Relief Fund.
