The international political context of 2026 and its impact on international migration from Mexico

In this new episode of Legal Evolution, we are joined by María Elena Abraham, counsel, Larissa Salazar, associate from our Monterrey offices, and Juan Carlos Machorro, partner at the firm, to discuss the political context of Latin America and the United States and its impact on international migration. We talk about the restrictive U.S. immigration policies and how they have manifested themselves at the beginning of 2026, the crises on the continent—including the Venezuelan crisis—that impact the discourse surrounding migrants, and how Mexico has positioned itself, due to this context, not only as a transit country for migrants but also as a destination country.
