When Prayer Circles Meet Policy Failures and the Doctor Who Witnessed Too Much
Ten Honduran migrants bow their heads in prayer at a Mexican housing complex called Solidarity 2000. It's August 2019, and they're thousands of miles from home but still hundreds from their destination. They share stories, swap memories of American detention centers, and pass around keepsakes-scraps of paper with phone numbers, faded photographs, rosaries blessed by priests they'll never see again. This scene captures something essential about modern migration: it's no longer about single men crossing borders for work. It's about families fleeing conditions so desperate that no wall, no policy, no threat of separation can stop them. Despite a century of enforcement efforts and billions spent on deterrence, people keep coming because what they're running from is worse than anything they'll face at the border. Juan Romagoza wanted to heal people, not become a revolutionary. Growing up in rural El Salvador, he watched his grandfather die waiting for medical care-an image that drove him toward medicine. But medical school in the late 1970s coincided with political awakening. El Salvador's grotesque inequality, where twenty-five families controlled ninety percent of the nation's wealth, was cracking open. When Juan saw soldiers execute a wounded student protester in his hospital in February 1980, everything changed. He found himself drawn to Archbishop Oscar Romero, the "voice of the voiceless" whose radio sermons condemned government violence. Romero enlisted Juan and other medical students as his eyes and ears, gathering evidence of torture that he cited in broadcasts heard across the nation. When Romero was assassinated while celebrating mass in March 1980, any hope for peaceful resolution died with him. Juan continued treating torture victims, learning to recognize the signature patterns of electric shocks and cigarette burns. Then his name appeared on a death squad list. Captured in December 1980, Juan endured twenty-four days of systematic torture-electric shocks, sexual assault, suspension by his fingers. His torturers shot through his left forearm, telling him he'd never practice medicine again. They were wrong, but Juan's personal nightmare reflected a larger tragedy: the Reagan administration was pouring hundreds of millions into supporting the very forces committing these atrocities, all in the name of fighting communism.
