Las Mariposas de la Frontera is a joint project between the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI) and the International Institute of New England (IINE). USCRI thanks IINE for underwriting the project and for its support in conducting field visits at the U.S.-Mexico border and partnering to uplift the stories of asylum seekers.
The U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI), established in 1911, is a nongovernmental, not-for-profit, international organization dedicated to protecting the rights and addressing the needs of refugees and immigrants. USCRI, working with its affiliates, provides legal, social, and health services to refugees, unaccompanied migrating children, trafficking survivors, and other immigrants in all 50 U.S. states, Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras, and Kenya. USCRI advocates for the rights of refugees and migrants both nationally and globally, helping to drive humanitarian policies, practices, and law.
The International Institute of New England (IINE), a regional partner of USCRI and one of the largest and longest-established human service organizations in its region, serves refugees, unaccompanied children, and immigrants with a variety of humanitarian legal statuses from more than 70 countries throughout the world.
