The Rhizome Center for Migrants

On our visit to the South of Mexico—to Tapachula, Cancún, and Villahermosa—one theme was consistent throughout. Very few organizations remain that can respond to the direct and complex needs of people in forced migration today. @asylumaccessmx closed two offices this month. @jrs_mx and @msf_mexico, one of the few orgs equipped to provide medical relief, have significantly reduced their operations in Mexico. Meanwhile @cdh_fraymatias, under attack, has reported multiple office break-ins this year. International orgs, including a now skeletal @acnurmx, are not able to do much in the face of a scaled-up phenomenon—deportation that leads to more displacement, and the active conversion of people with legal status—highlighting specifically the case of deported Cuban senior citizens—into a stateless and houseless situation. We were surprised to see some familiar faces from Guadalajara, who are now holding down the fort in Southern Mexico. We extend our support and solidarity to the network of remaining migrant-serving and human rights organizations, as we all lean forward to tackle a new and absurd crisis.#migracion #UsMxBorder #Chiapas #Tabasco #QuintanaRoo #Jalisco #thirdcountry #Deportation #asylumseekers #nonprofitsupport

The Rhizome Center for Migrants

Mexico Te Abraza is a tent NOT an integration program.The Mexican government's reception program, Mexico Te Abraza, is a quick reception point offering very limited government services in the initial moments after deportation. These services have mainly been relocated to the south of Mexico, where flights have ramped up. Last Thursday, the Mexican government received 4 deportation flights in Tapachula. Each of the more than 500 Mexicans deported that day have been torn from their families, communities, and homes. In places like Tapachula, according to organizations on the ground, the government no longer assists with onward transportation. From these reception points, each person, regardless of age, disability, language ability, or other condition—wearing the last thing they were wearing when they were picked up months before—must arrange their own transportation onward and navigate their deportation, family separation, and accumulated trauma with fewer and fewer government support.For those arriving in Jalisco, the Rhizome Center is a resource. If you or someone you know was deported and is now in Guadalajara, reach out to us via our Whatsapp at: +52 33 2182 0836.

The Rhizome Center for Migrants
is in Frontera Nogales Sonora – Nogales Arizona.

At a time of heightened and cross border migrant rights violations—and government abandonment of people and the organizations that serve them—it is important that we connect and reconnect with the broader migrant-serving community. After years of collaborating with staff at Kino Border Initiative / Iniciativa Kino para la Frontera and The Florence Immigrant & Refugee Rights Project, we had the opportunity to visit KINO's shelter in Nogales, Sonora, and learn from attorneys about their work at the Florence Project. Over the last year, attention has shifted from U.S. international protection to Mexican international protection, straining a system that barely grinds forward and isn't working for most people. See our link, below, a previous collaboration with KINO on #deportation and #displacement that is still relevant today.With more and more returned and deported Mexicans and other nationalities at the shelter, we borrowed an office and volunteered for the day. Issues regarding naturalization, return, families left behind, and the rupture of lives—in addition to the logistical stitching required to move one life from one country to another, weighs heavy on those now on this side of the border. 👉 KINO-Rhizome collaboration on U.S. deportations to dangerous and unstable countries and how the U.S. can and should prevent the displacement of people who have strong ties to the U.S. –> youtu.be/ExuWr2zKNrY?si=zWpq_5j01Sv5KOcV
