“At this year’s Hugs, Not Walls, also known as ‘Abrazos, no Muros’, approximately 200 families reunited at the U.S.-Mexican border on the Rio Grande on June 19. The annual event brings families together from the United States and Mexico, some of which have not seen their family members in years.

This year marks the eighth Hugs, Not Walls, where many families, most of them separated by deportation, were able to reunite, embrace, and hug each other for three minutes. People of all ages, including fathers, mothers, grandparents, siblings, and children, participated in the event. After the three minutes were up, families had to say their goodbyes to their family members to allow other families to reunite.”
