On March 26, 2024, in El Paso, Eliana, a 22-year-old Venezuelan migrant, holds her 3-year-old daughter, Chrismarlees, as she shouts at a National Guard soldier blocking her way at a razor-wire fence along the Rio Grande. Meanwhile, her 6-year-old daughter, Ariana, is carried past the fence by other migrants. Throughout this long journey, migrants face the risk of detention, repatriation, and harsh conditions. In recent years, crossing the border has become increasingly difficult, as stricter immigration policies and a heightened law enforcement presence have made the process even more dangerous.
