Migrants wait to buy bus tickets at the bus station in the city of Juchitan, Oaxaca State, on September 29, 2023. In the last 11 months, at least 1.8 million people have reached the southern US border, many of them searching for safety and economic opportunities. AFPPIX: United Nations experts on Friday called on Mexico to crack down on extortion by police and other officials targeting vulnerable migrants in flagrant violation of their human rights.
According to the Mexican constitution, such detentions should be limited to 36 hours, but the UN delegation said that a “significant number” of migrants were held for longer. “That kind of practice is completely in violation of human rights. It is the kind of practice that the authorities here in Mexico must stamp out,“ Gillett said.
“That’s an issue that the authorities need to pay close attention to -- to ensure that any individuals that are kept in detention have access to outdoor spaces fire escapes,“ he said.
