The South border in Tapachula, Chiapas is an epicenter for migrants seeking documents to move north, with 300-500+ migrants present. Migrants receive paperwork to stay in Mexico, with some remaining there, some moving to the northern border hoping it reopens, and others potentially using smugglers to cross into the U.S.
Kristi Noem informed Donald Trump that the Mexican president, Clara Schaimbaum, said over 500,000 migrants were returned, but the Department of Homeland Security chief claims this is false. In Tapachula alone, over 500 migrants are waiting, with more than 10,000 stranded, hoping to move north if the U.S. border reopens.
There are an estimated 10,000 migrants in Tapachula, 30-40,000 in Mexico City, and over 1 million in the northern border cities. According to the former director of attention to migrants in Tijuana, the CBP One app was canceled immediately after Donald Trump was sworn into office.
