This weekend, residents of Axochiapan, Morelos, took to the streets in a peaceful march and protest to express their rejection of the detentions of migrants from the municipality in the United States, as well as to denounce that, in these operations, the human rights of the migrant population are not being respected. The mobilization was called by local residents and members of the Axochiapan Uniendo Corazones Club, who pointed out that in recent weeks, operations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have intensified, with direct impacts on people from this locality, mainly those residing in the city of Minneapolis, in the state of Minnesota. Axochiapan is one of the municipalities with the highest migration in the state of Morelos. According to local estimates, between 90 and 95 percent of its migrant population resides in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which explains the community response to recent detentions. During the march and the subsequent gathering, protesters carried banners and signs with messages related to the defense of human rights. Romero Bueno indicated that the migratory situation is already beginning to reflect in the local economy, due to the reduction in remittances, which impacts consumption and commercial activity in the municipality. Finally, the organizers informed that they will continue to carry out dissemination and community support actions, in addition to including prayers for the migrant community in the municipality's religious celebrations. Later we learned that they were taken to prisons outside the city where they lived, mainly in Texas, which complicates their ability to defend themselves and for lawyers to locate them,” explained. Cuate added that cases have been documented in which parents or mothers were detained during school trips, leaving girls and boys without immediate accompaniment. The organizers pointed out that the mobilization in Axochiapan joined other actions promoted by the migrant community itself, with the objective of making visible the situation that families face and demanding respect for the human rights of migrants. In an interview, Claudia Romero Bueno, a native of the municipality, indicated that the central objective of the march was to accompany the migrant community and make it visible that their families in Axochiapan are attentive to what is happening in the United States. “We wanted them to know that from here we are paying attention and that they are not alone,” she stated. Additionally, leading the mobilization, a large-format banner with the legend: “Axochiapan, Morelos, supporting migrants in Minnesota” was displayed. Participants pointed out that some detentions have occurred in daily activities, such as work and school commutes, which has caused families to remain without information about the whereabouts of their relatives for several days. Belén Cuate, a member of the Axochiapan Uniendo Corazones Club, explained that one of the main problems is the difficulty in locating the detained people, as they are frequently transferred to detention centers located in other states. Among the slogans, phrases such as “Human rights are trampled by ICE” and “Human rights do not have a visa” could be read. “Many times the first thing we find are the vehicles.”
