MEXICO CITY - Overcrowding, prison-like conditions, bed bugs and illness are among the complaints of migrants in a Mexico City detention center that holds dozens of minors two months after a court ruled it was unconstitutional.
In June, a court ruled it unconstitutional for Las Agujas to hold children after a 10-year-old Guatemalan girl died in its custody. Mexico’s National Migration Institute , which runs the center, has not appealed the decision, but told Reuters it observes the laws protecting migrants in “each and every case”.
On June 10, a panel of judges ordered Las Agujas to stop holding children, citing migration laws and minors’ rights. The migration authority picks up minors along with adults, said Rosalba Rivera, migrant children’s coordinator at the Institute for Migrant Women. Detainees often cannot leave for weeks or months before they are deported or file for asylum, according to monitoring groups.
