Isabel Zepeda looks on as women asylum seekers make phone calls to their families after arriving at a shelter in San Antonio, Texas, on December 1, 2015. The women fled violence in Central America with their children and were detained by immigration authorities upon their arrival in the United States. Upon release from detention, they were brought to the shelter, which is run by the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services (RAICES) and supported by a coalition of San Antonio churches. Shelter staff and volunteers help the women and children with food, clothing and a secure place to sleep until they can make arrangements for travel onward to stay with relatives elsewhere in the U.S., pending a final decision on their request for asylum. Zepeda is a volunteer at the shelter.
