Mexico Implements Strategy to Relieve Border Pressure by Relocating Migrants.

Mexico is relocating migrants away from its borders with the US and Guatemala to ease the pressure on its border cities. The US has reported a significant drop in illegal crossing attempts since it lifted pandemic-era restrictions on seeking asylum at its border. Mexico is trying to keep migrants south of the border, which could temporarily reduce crossings, but experts say it is not sustainable. Shelters in northern border cities are below capacity, while those in southern Mexico are full, and the government is busing hundreds of migrants more than 200 miles north to relieve pressure in Tapachula near Guatemala.
