TAPACHULA, Mexico – Migrants throughout this southern Mexico city are living in crowded conditions, with little access to food and clean water. Many live in parks, where it’s not only difficult to obtain basic necessities, but also to use a restroom.
Others are renting out rooms, staying in shelters – and being detained in the main immigration facility, Siglo 21, where many migrants claim to have been treated poorly.
