Can everyone please keep in mind that the people who died yesterday were locked up in immigration detention. Mexico govt calls them migration stations and will talk about them as albergues. But you don’t round people up off the street by force and take them to an albergue.
BREAKING: Mexico's president says a fire at a Mexican immigration facility at the U.S. border that killed 39 migrants was started by migrants who set mattresses ablaze in protest after learning they would be deported. apnews.com/article/mexico-fi…

🚨This morning, we received frantic phone calls as SSC CDMX and INM started a large raid at the Central del Norte Camp.
People still living there reported that they were awoken with guns pointed at their faces. They are currently being held at EM Las Agujas in Iztapalapa.

Last night, somebody intentionally burned down tents in one of the largest asylum seeker camps in Mexico City. A number of families have lost everything.

Desde el Grupo de Monitoreo @frontera_centro expresamos nuestra profunda preocupación por lo sucedido anoche en el campamento de personas y familias migrantes de Vallejo, alcaldía Gustavo A. Madero.
Atento llamado a las autoridades 👇

This weekend, the CDMX government organized buses to transfer persons from a facility in Tepito, supposedly to Monterrey. In reality, the buses arrived in San Luis de Potosí and Zacatecas, where the people were abandoned without any kind of regular status in Mexico.
#AlertaCDMX
Personal del gobierno de la #CDMX facilitó autobuses para trasladar con engaños a personas migrantes desde el CAIS Vasco de Quiroga, en Tepito.
➡️Las personas fueron abandonadas en SLP y Zacatecas

En septiembre, México sólo operó cuatro vuelos de deportación, dos a Guatemala y dos a Honduras. También parece que los traslados forzados de norte a sur por vía aérea han cesado por el momento.
Continúan las deportaciones y los traslados forzados de norte a sur por autobús.
6/6 Mexico Operated Removal flights in August included only 4 removal flights, down from 7 in August and 9 in July, all on National Guard planes, with 2 to Guatemala (on Tuesdays) and 2 to Honduras (on Thursday). It does not appear the longitudinal flights are continuing to operate. That contrasts with ranges of 30-40 per month for April and May.
Thread regarding other recent cases in Chiapas where Mexican soldiers opened fire on civilians.
This is truly a disturbing trend in recent years.
El Ejército reconoce haber matado a tiros a seis migrantes en Chiapas. No es la primera vez que soldados acribillan un camión con migrantes. gob.mx/sedena/prensa/sedena-…

Horrific news from Chiapas that highlight the risks of the military’s increased role of migration enforcement in Mexico.
6 migrants are dead and 8 were injured after soldiers opened fire on a truck that ran a checkpoint near Villa Comaltitlán.
diariodelsur.com.mx/policiac…?
Please note this does not appear to be an accident, but an example of excessive use of force at a military checkpoint.
This has happened just days after constitutional reform passed to move the Guardia Nacional fully under SEDENA:

Horrible news out of Tapachula from Sunday as one Honduran refugee is dead & 6 more Hondurans were shot, including a 6yo girl. There are no firm details of why they were targeted. What we know is that the increase in violence in the region is significant.

Preliminary information from Tapachula says that the woman who died was a recognized refugee in Mexico, while the other six were applicants with open processes at the COMAR. #RIP

Panama is #3 in Ámerica this year with no other country even close in terms of immigration detention.
Panama has reported 170,000+ detentions (encounters) from Jan-May 2024.
IMMIGRATION DETENTION IN ÁMERICA:
So far this year, Mexico has been the #1 migrant-detaining country in all of America. From Jan-June 2024, Mexico reported nearly double the # of migration detentions as the United States:
MX: ~1,400,000
USA: 785,000+

🚨🚨@IMUMI has released an important report about two of the most horrifying recent trends in American migration:
1. Mexico’s acceptance of Non-Mexicans removed from the US under Expedited Removal
2. Mexico’s forced transfers to S MX

#ProtecciónNoContención
⚠️ Desde 2019, el @GobiernoMX ha colaborado en una serie de políticas estadounidenses que transgreden el derecho a solicitar asilo, recibiendo a personas no mexicanas sin garantizar su derecho a información y protección internacional, subiéndolas a autobuses y aviones para llevarlos a la frontera sur mexicana.

Don’t miss this video:
Evidence that some asylum seekers ACTIVELY using CBP One who boarded buses in the CDMX camp raid on 6/5 have already returned to the Giordano Bruno Plaza.
@ARuelaso, litigator for the @defensoriaifdp also outlined how INM coerced people to board the buses.
🧵 On June 5 migrants living in a camp in CMDX were raided by INM and Guardia Nacional before being forcibly displaced across the city and to other states.
So why is it relevant? Nearly all were using CBP One, meaning they are US asylum seekers.

MIGRANTES DESAPARECIDOS
Una de las cosas más difíciles para las familias de los migrantes es que sus queridos son imposibles de localizar cuando están detenidos por la frontera EEUU.
Pero ya por 1a vez, familias van a tener la capacidad de buscar personas bajo custodia de CBP.
Después años de peticiones, la herramienta para localizar personas detenidas en EEUU ahora incluirá personas en custodia de CBP por más de 48 horas:
