DALLAS -- Isabel Márquez knows today’s immigrant journey like few other pastors.
She fled cartel-related violence in northern Mexico at 17, and arrived in the U.S. as an undocumented and unaccompanied minor. She spent several months in detention.
Nearly three decades later, the 46-year-old is an associate pastor, welcoming and serving migrants who have fled violence and economic devastation in Latin America and other regions. Hundreds of thousands have crossed through Mexico into the U.S. in recent years.
