Mexico Edition.
Since June, more than 8,000 Africans have come to Tijuana to seek political asylum in the United States, a situation that has saturated the shelters and affected the Mexican and Central American migrants who also seek refuge in the US. According to the Coalition for the Defense of Migrants, organized crime has displaced entire families in the states of Guerrero and Michoacán, while Central Americans are fleeing gangs like the “Mara Salvatrucha”. Also in this edition, mothers looking for their missing children ask for UN intervention to find them. Martha Elena Ramirez hosts this edition of Voz Pública from México City.
