Mexico - January 22, 2025 The US decision to cancel appointments through the CBP One programme has left migrants stranded on Mexico's northern border, intensifying a humanitarian and logistical crisis. Shelters such as El Buen Samaritano in Ciudad Juárez are preparing for an influx of rejected or deported migrants, while frustration and uncertainty grow among those affected. Margelis Tinoco, a Colombian migrant, shared her anguish, recounting her perilous journey across the Darien Gap with her son, only to see her hopes dashed by the abrupt policy change. The cancellation has sparked fears of further overcrowding in shelters and an increase in migrants attempting to return to their home countries or settle in Mexico. (Camera: RAÚL MORALES). FOOTAGE OF COLOMBIAN MIGRANT, MARGELIS TINOCO, AT A SHELTER IN CIUDAD JUAREZ, ON THE NORTHERN BORDER OF MEXICO. SOUND BITES: MARGELIS TINOCO, COLOMBIAN MIGRANT (IN SPANISH) TRANSLATION: I felt devastated because I received a message on my phone, an email, saying that the appointment had been cancelled. That was devastating for me. At that moment I was overcome with sadness about what I was going through, knowing that I would no longer be able to enter the United States. And with a child by my side asking me, ‘Mom, what are we going to do,’ and me with no answer. It was a drama, but what I experienced was not just a drama; it was real life. They cancel the appointment when you are about to go in. That's not just a drama; it's a moment of great sadness and pain. And I ask the authorities, I ask President Trump, to have compassion, because not all migrants are what people think. It's not just me; there are thousands of migrants behind me who need a chance.
