The Mexican government suspended permits for the transit of migrants, afterThe United States will deactivate Title 42, which allowed the immigration authorities of this country the immediate expulsion to Mexican soil of undocumented immigrants captured at the border.
The National Migration Institute (INM) ordered all its offices to no longer give safe passage to migrants that allow them to move around the country.
On Friday, at a press conference by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the measures adopted were reported.
"[The INM] also ordered all Immigration offices in all states not to issue Multiple Immigration Formats or any other document that authorizes transit through the country," the document states.
Likewise, the agency confirmed that there are no places to house foreigners in an irregular immigration situation, since last Wednesday it ordered the closure of 33 provisional stays, which had a capacity for 1,306 people.
These are 14 type A stays, which allow a maximum stay of 48 hours, and 19 type B, which provide shelter for up to seven days, details the note published by the entity in itsweb.
The suspension of these premises will be in force until the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) concludes its current supervision visit to all the facilities and issues its report on migratory flows in the country.
The care that was provided in these stays will continue in the other immigration centers distributed in Mexico.
The INM warned that after this measure and the repeal of Title 42, massive rescues may violate human rights "by not having a place to accommodate foreigners."
"The transfers will be carried out immediately, either by land or air, in which they will have to be accompanied by three immigration agents," the document states.
Last Thursday, May 11, 942 people were repatriated from the United States to Mexico, of which 17 were from Cuba.
That same day, at 11:59 pm (Eastern time in the US), Title 42, a health order imposed by Donald Trump during the pandemic, which authorized the expedited expulsion of undocumented immigrants detained at the border with Mexico.
During the validity of that rule, 20,093 Cubans were rejected at the border under the coronavirus health ban.
"The end of Title 42 does not mean that the border will be open. The reality is that starting May 12 there will be stricter regulations, stricter controls and a redoubled presence of immigration agents, police forces and military forces to face the challenge" , announced DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
