Humane Borders Volunteer Protocols

 

Volunteers are asked to use the following guidelines when encountering migrants in the desert. We are publishing the protocols to help the public understand the nature of our service.

Humane Borders, Inc. volunteers provide humanitarian assistance to migrants and may, when considered appropriate and in accordance with Humane Borders protocol, provide transportation of migrants for the purpose of securing medical attention. Border Patrol or INS personnel are invited to determine the identity of the volunteers in the field by asking for identification and/or by contacting one or more of the Humane Borders principals at the following numbers:
