Altagracia, a 39-year-old woman from Siguatepeque, Honduras, embarked on a challenging journey to the US-Mexico border with two clear goals in mind: claiming asylum in the United States and reuniting with her children already living there. However, her journey was overshadowed by the news of Donald Trump's victory in the US election, where he emphasized a strict stance on immigration policies.
Concerned about the potential implications of Trump's presidency on her asylum claim, Altagracia found herself racing against time to reach the US border before Trump's inauguration on January 20. She expressed fears that Trump's administration might make it harder for migrants like her to enter the US, given his promises of crackdowns on immigration and border security.
