Example text
T]he mama would start telling her son, ‘No ’mijo [my son], don’t do it. Mira m’ijo [look my son], I’m not documented. What are they going to do to me? You do anything like that [make a complaint] and they’re going to throw me back’ ” (interview with Victoria, Fall 1995). Even one of the staff in the lawsuit expressed fear of retaliation: “During the lawsuit I was so afraid. I thought that they were going to get back at us somehow, or that they were going to do something to a student” (interview with Guadalupe, Fall 1995).
The brc took down people’s stories in detail, helped people file official complaints (a very convoluted and often intimidating process) when they were willing to do so, and referred people to legal assistance—though few could afford this and very little was available on a free or low-cost basis. Like libre, but on a more extensive basis, the brc also brought abuse cases it had documented to the attention of the local media (in El Paso and Juárez) in order to draw attention to the issue or a particularly onerous abuse case.
It was only when one student first publicly came forward with his complaint of abuse late in the spring of 1992 that others would also later that fall. As the victims came forward and the Border Patrol abuse issue became more public, several key lawsuit figures on the plaintiffs’ side were repeatedly threatened by anonymous callers and writers. Juan, the student who first publicly challenged the Border Patrol and appeared in the media, received a series of anonymous, threatening telephone calls and letters.
