The National Immigration Institute said the buses will leave from the southern cities of Villahermosa and Tapachula.
Mexico will offer escorted bus rides from southern Mexico to the U.S. border for non-Mexican migrants who have received a United States asylum appointment, the government announced Saturday. It appeared to be an attempt to make applying for asylum appointments from southern Mexico more attractive to migrants who otherwise would push north to Mexico City or the border. The announcement came a week after the U.S. government expanded access to the CBP One application to southern Mexico.
Previously, Mexican authorities said they would respect migrants who showed that they had a scheduled asylum appointment at the border, but some migrants reported being swept up at checkpoints and shipped back south, forced to miss their appointments. Local, state and federal law enforcement will provide security for the buses and meals will be provided during transit, the institute said. The rides could also help discourage some migrants from making the arduous journey north on foot.
