Abstract
This chapter describes the egregious human rights abuses that migrants in transit through Mexico suffer at the hands of gangs, narcos, abusive state authorities, and other social predators. Through statistics and concise descriptions of the types of human rights violations committed in Mexico’s detention stations, this chapter presents the paradoxes of a state that promotes human rights-based immigration policies yet prioritizes detentions and deportations. The chapter offers a concise review of Mexico’s immigration policies since the 1980s. It concludes that the magnitude of today’s flows of migrants and refugees crossing Mexico has reached a breaking point that demands further regional cooperation.
