Also, Father Solalinde in the U.S. This is an interview with Mexican Catholic priest Alejandro Solalinde, a human rights champion who has been attacked by criminal gangs and officials for his advocacy on behalf of Central American migrants. Interviewed during his visit to the border in San Diego, he discusses Mexico’s crackdown on migrants, the pain he saw in Central American mothers detained in New York, the rampant trafficking of human organs, and the refugees of violence.
