Priest ministers to migrants in Mexico and Texas detention facilities

At least three days a week, Jesuit Catholic priest Brian Strassburger goes to Mexico to celebrate Mass and minister to asylum-seeking migrants in towns south of the border, and those living in migrant shelters. In the latest episode of Border Report Live, Strassburger joined South Texas correspondent Sandra Sanchez and host Rudy Mireles live in the studio to talk about the people he serves in the Mexican border towns of Reynosa and Matamoros, and why he does it. He says Mexican border towns are particularly dangerous for vulnerable populations, like families with small children, who he says are preyed upon by Mexican cartels and targets for kidnapping. Since 2021, Strassburger has served the Rio Grande Valley region as part of the Del Camino Jesuit Border Ministries.
