Migrants Stranded in Mexico Face Growing Crisis Amid Trump's Policies

Following the cancellation of the CBP One app by President Donald Trump, thousands of migrants from Latin America are stranded in Mexico, facing dire circumstances and limited options to continue their journey to the U.S. Many, like Maria Del Carmen Cortes and Margelis Rodriguez, have been forced to abandon their plans to seek asylum in the U.S. and are now considering building lives in Mexico instead. The Mexican government is struggling to manage the influx of migrants, with shelters overwhelmed and many individuals lacking adequate support. Reports indicate a significant rise in asylum applications in Mexico as migrants recalibrate their goals amid tightened U.S. immigration policies. Humanitarian organizations like Doctors Without Borders are addressing the mental health crises that have arisen due to the distressing situation. Overall, the shift in U.S. immigration policy has led to increased desperation among migrants, particularly from countries like Venezuela, Cuba, and Honduras.
