"The Sheinbaum government assured Mexicans in the U.S. that “no están solos” (“they are not alone”) and that their country was ready to welcome them home “con los brazos abiertos” (“with open arms”)."... "Only 4% of deportees have actually secured employment through the strategy". #Mexico #4T

Amanda Aguilar, an immigration lawyer, said cartels held one of her clients for ransom immediately after his deportation to Mexico via the Tamaulipas border. “My clients will say, ‘Can you please ask them not to drop me off in Tamaulipas?” Aguilar said. “And I do ask, but ICE just doesn’t care.”

President Claudia Sheinbaum promised access to social security and jobs. But as one lawyer said, it’s more like water, a hug, and a few pesos — certainly not enough to reintegrate people into Mexican society.

In interviews with immigration lawyers, watchdogs, and deportees themselves, @thebarbedwire.com found that hardships for detained migrants do not end after deportation to Mexico — in addition to unemployment, word has spread of dangers, including cartels. thebarbedwire.com/2025/12/02/m...

Mexico Publicized a New Strategy to ‘Embrace’ Deportees. Instead, Many Have Found Danger and Unemployment.

La percepción de inseguridad sube al 61.9% en el primer trimestre de 2025, cuando se cumple medio año de la presidencia de Sheinbaum. Más de la mitad de la población espera que la violencia siga "igual de mal" o "empeorará". Mi nota para @efe.com:

Canadá responde con aranceles del 25% a los vehículos importados de Estados Unidos que no cumplan con el T-MEC. El primer ministro afirma que las medidas de Trump "fracturan la economía global" y que el "sistema global de comercio anclado en EEUU" se ha acabado. @efe.com:

For many Americans, a trip to México means beaches, cute towns, mountains, agave fields, and amazing food. But for Mexicans? The real dream destination is… H-E-B. Yes, you heard that right. H-E-B is basically the new cultural landmark, and the meme game proves it.

How H-E-B Became a Full-Blown Cultural institution in Northeastern México

As politicians in the United States and México ramp up the nationalistic rhetoric, H-E-B’s appeal to Regios holds steadfast. Can a grocery chain unite us all?

The 25% tariff on automotive imports announced by President Trump will add to the already difficult economic outlook for Mexico, the largest exporter of automobiles to the US. Passenger vehicles and auto parts represent 11.1% and 6.1% of Mexico's total sales to its northern neighbor, respectively.

La similitud entre la estrategia mediática de los trumpistas frente a "Signalgate" y la estrategia mediática de ciertos sectores de la 4T frente al rancho Izaguirre es muy elocuente.

One upshot for Sheinbaum in the madness of the new trade war she finds herself in: Mexico was very possibly heading for a contraction this year regardless of tariffs. Trump’s just given her a helluvalot of cover for that.

Mexico is facing perhaps the most complex geopolitical environment of the century so far, and it will do so without resources, without justice, and with deeply weakened institutions.
