InAlienable is the newest program at the Quixote Center, launched in 2018 to demand justice for migrants at the US border, within the United States and throughout their journey. We work to end immigrant detention, and defend the right to asylum, which has been eroded over the last several years. We also partner with organizations who work with migrants in the United States and in Latin America.
Find out more about our Solidarity Travel Program HERE.
The Quixote Center’s principal international partnership is with the Franciscan Network on Migration. The Franciscan Network on Migration is an effort to connect shelters run by Franciscan orders which provide assistance to migrants who are traveling through Mexico, Central and South America. We serve as the fiscal sponsor for the Franciscan Network on Migration within the United States, and coordinate advocacy efforts with their staff.
See where the Franciscan Network on Migration works here.
You can donate to support the work of the Francsican Network here.
In 2022 we launched a solidarity travel program that brings advocates from the United States to visit and work with shelters in southern Mexico. These trips take place every six months. Find out more HERE.

Making America White Again:
Miller Trumps Pompeo: Drastic cuts to refugee program – lowering cap from 110,000 to 50,000 to 45,000 and now to 30,000 – a priority of Miller’s Make America White Again agenda, despite pushback from Pompeo and the Pentagon.
Happy “Constitution and Citizenship Day”!
Over the past 606 days, Trump and his appointees have waged a relentless campaign of psychological warfare on refugees and immigrants of every stripe and status. In the process, the administration has violated international human rights laws, basic norms of human decency, and the Constitution – the very document that the President has sworn an oath to defend.
