MEXICO: Army involved in migrant killings
Members of Mexico’s national guard (GN) opened fire on vehicles in Baja California state, close to the border with the US, on 2 November. Two Colombian migrants were killed, and a further four injured. The incident comes almost exactly a month after the GN opened fire on a pick-up truck in the southernmost state of Chiapas, close to the border with Guatemala, killing six migrants. Such events will further fuel concerns surrounding the militarisation of migration management and public security more widely in Mexico, a policy that President Claudia Sheinbaum has pledged to continue.
