The Office of the Attorney General of the Nation (PGN) reported that during the month of May, 154 unaccompanied migrant children and adolescents transiting through Mexican territory returned by land to the border of the city of Tecún Umán, Ayutla, San Marcos.
The minors were intercepted by the authorities in the Aztec territory, and sent to Guatemala. The PGN authorities admitted them to a specialized shelter for their protection while they were reintegrated into their family nucleus. They all went in search of the “American dream”.
