Overview

• Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has formally asked private TV broadcasters to stop airing a U.S. government anti-migration advertisement, labeling it discriminatory and harmful to migrants' safety.
• The ad, part of a multimillion-dollar campaign led by U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, warns migrants against illegal entry with threatening language and imagery.
• Mexico’s anti-discrimination agency received numerous complaints about the ad, which it says violates human dignity and could incite violence against migrants.
• Sheinbaum announced plans to introduce legislation banning foreign governments from purchasing advertisements on Mexican TV that disseminate discriminatory messages.
• The dispute over the ad highlights ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Mexico over migration policies, trade pressures, and border security measures.
