El campamento contra las fronteras termino con tres arrestos por la migra - lo que pediamos era simple - un mundo sin fronteras - lo que recibimos - balas de pimienta, palos y represion The No borders camp ended with 3 arrests by the migra. What we asked for was simple: a world without borders. What we received: pepper bullets, batons and repression.

Several hundred people participated in the No Borders Camp in Mexicali/Calexico during the week of November 7-11. Actions during the camp included a rally and march on November 9 at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in El Centro, CA and a memorial service on November 10 at a cemetery in Holtville, CA where the remains of about 600 migrants who have died crossing the border are buried. All activities during the camp were peaceful and intended to build connections across borders. On the evening of November 11th, US Border Patrol brutally attacked activists on the US side of the wall at the end of the closing march. The demonstration was peaceful until Border Patrol agents attacked with pepper-powder pellets and batons, arresting three and injuring several.

Activistas de todas partes se reunieron para decir alto a tantas muertes en la frontera. Para decir ya basta a tanta crueldad! Aunque fue una semana mas o menos pacifica la migra mostro sus colores verdaderos al final del campamento, arrestando a tres de nuestros companeros.
