Latino leaders react with outrage after the Senate parliamentarian rejected the third immigration plan submitted by the Democrats as part of the social spending package. Top advocates outline the road ahead. On other news: our correspondent in Mexico City files a report on the truck accident in Chiapas that killed dozens of migrants. She gives an update on the criminal investigation and the political repercussions, including calls on the US to invest in migrant hometowns and on the governments to crackdown on “coyotes” or transnational bands of human traffickers. Also, a Mexican academic activist gives his views on the recent visit to Mexico of a United Nations committee to study the situation of systematic enforced disappearances and impunity for perpetrators.
