México aumenta vigilancia en 'La Bestia' para evitar pasos irregulares hacia Estados Unidos

The Challenges of Migrants in Mexico

Current Situation of Migrants

• The "bestia" (the beast), a freight train in Mexico, is currently transporting migrants who are attempting to evade increased security measures that hinder their access to the train.

• The freight train, used by migrants to reach the U.S. border, is now surrounded by Mexican law enforcement as a response to U.S. requests aimed at preventing migrant arrivals at the shared border.

• Due to heightened persecution on the trains, migrants have resorted to walking or hitching rides on trucks and seeking alternative routes that avoid migration checkpoints.

Increased Persecution

• There has been a noticeable increase in the pursuit of migrants over recent weeks, leading to a significant change in their circumstances as they face more aggressive actions from authorities.

• As a result of this intensified crackdown, migrants find themselves increasingly exposed and vulnerable during their journey through Mexico.
