Overview

• Mexico’s foreign minister said consular teams have interviewed 198 Mexicans who passed through the Everglades detention camp in recent weeks.
• Officials reported that most of those interviewed are no longer at the site because stays are brief and detainees are moved frequently.
• Some detainees reported mistreatment, and consulates are recording complaints and arranging legal counsel through outside attorneys since they cannot litigate cases.
• Many chose voluntary return to Mexico through the México te abraza program, while others were transferred to different detention centers under consular monitoring.
• The SRE said proceeds from National Lottery Special Draw 303 will fund six support programs, including bond assistance, expanded consular capacity, visits to remote facilities, emergency aid, and preventive outreach.
