During the Mexican Revolution, anti-Chinese persecution permeated Mexico. This ultimately resulted in the Torreón massacre in 1911, where 300 Chinese men, women, and children were killed. Eight years later, before the Third Battle of Ciudad Juárez, Herlinda Wong Chew, a Mexican Chinese American businesswoman, managed to help 200 Chinese community members find temporary asylum in El Paso.⁠
⁠
Later, Wong Chew and her family officially immigrated to El Paso, where she helped others cross into the United States and obtain visas for visits to China. She also served as an interpreter for their cases and escorted immigrants to San Francisco by train. She essentially acted as a de facto immigration agent.⁠
⁠
