Mexico organizes safe transfers for migrants with CBP One appointments to the U.S.

The National Institute of Migration of Mexico (INM) launched an "Emergent Safe Mobility Corridor" aimed at foreign individuals who have a confirmed appointment in the CBP One application for their migration process to the United States.

This corridor, designed to safeguard the safety of migrants during their movement, will allow transportation on escorted buses, providing protection to those seeking to arrive safely at border points.

Journalist Mario J. Pentón reported on this measure, highlighting that the trips will be escorted by authorities to ensure the protection of migrants, a growing concern due to the risks they face on their journey.

This initiative focuses on migrants located in southern Mexico, and is part of an interinstitutional strategy to ensure safe, orderly, and humane migration.

The official statement from the INM indicates that this project aims to support the land transportation of foreign individuals with a CBP One appointment, giving priority to family units so they can travel together and remain united during the journey.

Mexican authorities have established two exit points, one at the Migratory Station in Villahermosa, Tabasco, and the other at the Southern Zone Migration Regulation Office in Tapachula, Chiapas.

The INM will also grant migrants the Multiple Immigration Form (FMM), with a validity of 20 days, so that they have a regular immigration status during their movement toward the scheduled point of entry.

This document will allow migrants to travel legally through Mexican territory while they head to their appointment.

In addition to the security escort, the buses designated for these transfers will provide food to the passengers, reinforcing the commitment of Mexican authorities to ensure a dignified and safe journey.

The support of security forces at the federal, state, and municipal levels aims to mitigate the risks that migrants may face on their journey.

As of now, 300 people who requested their appointment through the CBP One application in Tabasco and Chiapas have received responses within a few days, which the Mexican government claims is a sign of the speed in managing the process.

Since August 23, the United States government has expanded the use of the CBP One application so that migrants in southern Mexico, including Cubans, can manage their appointments. This option was previously only available in the northern and central regions of the country.
