Del Rio, Texas — The migrants at the Val Verde Border Humanitarian Coalition, an organization located in a small building in Del Rio, Texas, are passing through on their way to “el sueño Americano,” the American dream. VVBHC, as the organization describes it, is “a group of local citizens and agencies” that “transition refugees to their destinations upon release of federal custody through a unified and coordinated effort.”
Border Patrol drops migrants off at the VVBHC center to await transportation to hubs such as San Antonio. VVBHC volunteers also provide meals, snacks, spaces to bathe, and hygienic supplies to migrants as they await transportation. As I sat talking with migrants on Wednesday, two empty buses pulled up. One of the migrants told me they would take them to San Antonio.
