Gathering is resistance.We will be in Mexicali next week in solidarity with system-impacted scholars and activists who are models themselves for a new pipeline: prison-to-deportation-to-higher education. Working across borders, universities, and governments, a small group of activists highlight the incredible effort it takes to turn one's deportation into a stepping stone for lifetime improvement and education. This conference is about pushing for carceral educational opportunities, removing institutional barriers for continuing education, and making room for role models from marginalized communities to stand up and say, "I proved it can be done—you can too."@theundergroundscholars @incarcerationnations @uabc_oficial

Registration is open! This August 7-12, 2026, The Rhizome Center for Migrants will host its 14th Immigration Program in Guadalajara, Mexico. This program is meant for U.S.-based donors, advocates, immigration attorneys, academics, and law students.Our 6-day program humanizes the experiences of those returned, deported, co-deported, and transferred to Mexico, as well as those seeking international protection after the closure of the border. Our program helps advocates to expand their networks, unpack what regional enforcement dynamics mean for those deported in a Trump/Sheinbaum era, spot cross border issues, and learn how to holistically support mixed-status families affected by deportation.Since 2019, The Rhizome Center for Migrants has hosted more than 80 U.S.-based advocates. See which one of your peers has already joined us: tinyurl.com/ys28a33k. Program details: tinyurl.com/d8vbm8bh.

According to Human Rights First, more than 17,400 people have been forcibly transferred to third countries where they have zero ties. Many face violence, arbitrary detention, chain refoulement, have no access to attorneys, and are permanently separated from their families. While Mexico denies being a third country for removal, Mexico has accepted more than 85% of all U.S. third country deportations in 2025-2026.Notwithstanding the arrival of Haitians today due to deportation, the mass migration of Haitians to Mexico occurred during the 2010s and 2020s due to a series of events, including the 2010 earthquake, cholera outbreak, changing economic and social conditions in Brazil and Chile—where many Haitians had fled—economic collapse due to COVID, gang violence, and the inability to seek asylum in the U.S. Today, well over 100,000 Haitians now live in Mexico, with the largest concentrations in Tijuana and Tapachula.As the U.S. ramps up deportations of lawful permanent residents with strong ties to the U.S., Haitians like Jean find themselves in an insufferable situation, held against his will in Southern Mexico without the ability to integrate legally, prove who he is, request a work permit, or leave Mexico. Most deported Haitians don't speak Spanish and lack language skills to navigate the Mexican asylum system, or have a meaningful relationship with their attorneys, if they can find or afford one.📞 UNHCR (Wsp +52 55 7005 5950) or download the El Jaguar app from Google Play or Apple App Store for info about the MX asylum process📲 Rhizome Center (Wsp +52 33 2182 0836) for integration support referrals and info🇭🇹 Haitian Consulate Tapachula (Tel +52 96 2642 8022 or cons.h.tap@gmail.com) for info about how to obtain proof of nationali#Deportationa#USMexicoe#Tabascob#QuintanaRoon#Chiapasiapas
