Migrants In Mexico Face Crackdown, But Officials Say They're Being 'Rescued'
The last two weeks have been busy for Mexico’s immigration authorities. Since Jan. 18, the Mexican government says it has “assisted returns” of 2,303 Central American migrants back to their home countries.
“Assisted returns” means deported — but much of the official language referring to migration in Mexico remains euphemistic, critics say, even as the government’s migration policies have grown harsher.
