Just hours before Mother’s Day (May 10th), mothers and relatives of missing migrants in Chiapas arrived in the town of San José El Hueyate in the municipality of Mazatán, where the group of 40 migrants from Ecuador, Honduras, and Cuba, who were attempting to cross into the United States, were last seen.
The international search brigade traveled the area by land and sea, looking for any sign of their loved ones who fled, driven by poverty, violence, and the search for better living conditions.
Yesterday, Friday, the mothers went to the Siglo XXI station of the National Migration Institute (INM) in Tapachula.
The searchers, both women and men, entered the federal building in another attempt to find any clue or information that might help locate their children, grandchildren, spouses, and siblings.
Accompanied by the Regional Network of Migrant Families, they are searching for the group of people who disappeared in Mazatán in December 2024.
Some reports suggest they were victims of organized crime; others indicate they may have taken a boat out to sea.
The search is also being accompanied by agents of the National Guard, the Mexican Army, as well as personnel from the National Search Commission, the Chiapas State Search Commission, the Chiapas State Victims Commission, and the State Attorney General’s Office.
The search party includes the mothers and relatives of the Cuban women Meiling Álvarez Bravo, Samei Armando Reyes Álvarez, Elianis Caridad Morejón Pérez, Lorena Rosabal Guevara, and Jorge Alejandro Lozada Santos, among others.
The international brigade’s tour, which began last Monday in Tonalá, which is also part of the migration route, has included visits to shelters, prisons, markets, and public squares in municipalities along the southern border.
