The MexicoBlog of the Americas Program, a fiscally sponsored program of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), is written by Laura Carlsen. I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective. And sometimes I simply muse.

Immigration Reality - Mexico: Immigration Chiefs Fired
Mexico: Immigration Chiefs Fired: "Seven top officials of the national immigration agency were fired Thursday amid allegations that some agents had been involved in kidnapping migrants, the Interior Department said on Thursday. The department said it had fired the leaders of the Immigration Institute’s branches in seven states. A group of Central American migrants recently accused immigration agents of pulling them off buses in Tamaulipas State and handing them over to criminal gangs. Six agents from the immigration institute were arrested after the migrants identified them in photographs."
