The event, held on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, was hosted by the Center for Latin American Studies and the Mexico-Central America Working Group and featured representatives from Promotores de la Liberación Migrante (PLM), a Mayan-led grassroots organization that provides critical language and advocacy services for Indigenous Guatemalan migrants traveling through Mexico and into the United States. PLM's representatives focused on the intersectional nature of the experiences many rural, Indigenous migrants go through as they navigate anti-migrant policies and a general political landscape designed to stop them in their migrant journey through Mexico. Through an advocacy-based approach that centers on language justice, defense of territory, and migrant justice, PLM was able to successfully fight for the release of Juanita, a Maya-Chuj woman who was detained by Mexican immigration officials and held in their custody for eight years. The two-hour-long event went into detail over the work PLM does for migrants as well as the story of Juanita's detention, violation of her migrant rights, and her eventual release in 2022.
