Asylum and migrant-transit processing expanded at Mexico's southern border

Following the US Trump administration's January 2025 orders tightening US border enforcement, Mexico expanded its own asylum and transit-processing capacity at the southern border (Chiapas, Tabasco) through 2025 — expanded COMAR (refugee commission) processing, temporary migrant-transit cards, and integration programmes for those granted refugee status. Practical effect on mover-relevant immigration channels is indirect.
