Organized crime members stormed a shelter in Mexico where refugees awaited entering the United States, seeking to kidnap Cubans there in hopes of extorting their families for cash. The director of the shelter, Aaron Mendez, offered himself in their place, and has not been seen since.
Is the Remain in Mexico policy humane? Is it reasonable? Does in leave the migrants in harms way? Does it only increase the gravity of the humanity crisis at our southern border?
From an online article in the Texas Observer, I read:
"The reported kidnapping is further evidence of the crime and unsafe conditions that asylum seekers and their advocates have been complaining about in Nuevo Laredo and other border cities. Doctors Without Borders, which works along the border, recently said that 'asylum seekers in Nuevo Laredo are constantly exposed to robbery, assault, extortion, kidnapping, and homicide.' "
