Mexico detains over 5,200 migrants in single day amid US pressure

The move comes as the incoming US administration has pressured Mexico to tighten its border security and reduce the flow of migrants.

Since October 1st, Mexican authorities have detained nearly 350,000 migrants. The recent surge in detentions reflects the increased efforts to address the influx of migrants from Central America.

The Mexican government has deployed the Army, National Guard, and state police to assist immigration authorities in their efforts to control the border. This increased security presence, particularly in the southern region, aims to deter migrants from entering the country illegally. (ILKHA)
