MEXICO CITY - Central Americans asylum seekers sent to Mexico by the United States to await their U.S. court dates increasingly become the victims of kidnappings and other types of violence, aid group Doctors Without Borders said in a report published on Tuesday.
MPP, sometimes called Remain in Mexico, is among various overlapping U.S. policies aimed at discouraging asylum seekers. Critics say the program has put migrants, most of whom are fleeing violence and poverty in Central America, directly in harm’s way. Mark Morgan, acting commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said during a briefing in Washington on Tuesday that the findings of the report did not reflect his agency’s understanding of the security situation for migrants sent to Mexico under the MPP program.
The vast majority of asylum seekers are attempting to escape violence and poverty in the region’s so-called Northern Triangle, comprising Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador.
