“Scared, Traumatized, Destitute, and Physically Vulnerable”: Report illuminates the invisible crisis of thousands stranded in southern Mexico by U.S. “mass deportations” and Mexico’s response
A new report from Kino Border Initiative, WOLA, and the Fray Matías de Córdova Center for Human Rights examines the humanitarian crisis caused by U.S. mass deportations to Mexico. Many people deported after years of living in the United States are being sent to southern Mexico, far from family and support networks.

Trump admin violating treaty against torture, Az immigration advocates tell UN
Kino Border Initiative and fellow immigration advocates have raised concerns with the United Nations that U.S. immigration policies are putting migrants at risk of torture and other serious harm.

The advocates are calling for international scrutiny and greater accountability for policies affecting migrants, asylum seekers, and deported people.
