Christa Case Bryant
Today鈥檚 editorial highlights the extraordinary forgiveness by a Mexican American whose brother was killed by an anti-immigrant white man in 2019. After the man pleaded guilty to a mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, Yolanda Tinajero chose to show him that his 鈥渦gly thoughts鈥� about immigrants were ill-founded 鈥� by literally embracing him, in the courtroom.
