“One June day at a migrant shelter called the Kino Border Initiative in Nogales, Sonora, an air-conditioning unit worked hard against the muggy morning as about a dozen families filed in and took their seats on metal folding chairs set up in a circle.

Chelsea Sachau with the legal aid group Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project addressed them in Spanish.

“My name is Chelsea, I’m an attorney licensed in the United States,” she said.

Sachau and other lawyers make the trip from Arizona almost every day to give this presentation. It’s a sort of crash course in U.S. immigration policy. She explains different types of asylum, things like persecution over one’s religion, gender identity or political beliefs, and what to expect from immigration officers.”
