In the group, “There are boys, there are girls, there are minors, I have had to see pregnant women, people with illnesses, colds, coughs” who are already receiving medical attention, said Tonatiuh Hernández, delegate of the Veracuz State Commission for Human Rights.

“The administrative immigration procedure is carried out and the child protection agencies are notified in the case” of families or minors traveling alone, for the “presence and condition of stay” of migrants in Mexico, added INM .
Of the total, 401 (107 women and 294 men) are from Guatemala; 53 (36 men and 17 women) of Honduras; 27 (19 men and 8 women) of Nicaragua; eight (five men and three women) of Cuba; 18 (four women and 14 men) of The Savior; four (one woman and three men) from Venezuela.
37 men from Bangladesh were also identified; four men from Ecuador; six men from Ghana; a man from India; five women and 35 men from the Dominican Republic, as well as a man from Cameroon, the INM said.
The rescue of the migrants occurs at a time when a caravan of some 800 undocumented persons is advancing on foot through Veracruz, made up mostly of Central Americans, who left on October 23 from Tapachula, Chiapas, on the border with Guatemala.
The flow of undocumented immigrants multiplied coinciding with the arrival of Joe Biden to the White House, who promised to treat them well.
More than 190,000 of them have been detected by Mexican authorities between January and September, three times more than in 2020. Some 74,300 have been deported.
According to directives from the Biden administration that will take effect on November 29, only undocumented immigrants who pose a threat to the United States – such as terrorist or espionage activities and committing crimes or serious offenses – will be deported. (I)
